Saturday 20th November 2010 - Ibrurg F3 [4] G-M F4 [0]
Iburg F3 showed early on why they are positioned high in the league. G-M F4 kicked off the game and immediately retreated towards, their own goal line. It wasn’t long before the stronger, more organized opponents where one goal ahead. Panic set into F4 side as they realized that some players were not playing in given positions. It was almost like Iburg F3 could smell the fear as they pressured our goal line while making runs towards the big gaps that were visible in our defense. In all the confusion and excitement and after more than five minutes of pressure from Iburg F3 we found ourselves conceding another.
G-M F4 players grouped themselves but they had to hold more pressure. It was only the whistle of the referee and the agility of our goal keeper that saved our heads from dropping too far. There was also good 1st half performances from Elianto, Vesper, Kiran and Siyar. Ruban in goal was quick and active. He made up for his early mistake by consistently making some fine saves and making it difficult for Iburg to punish us too much.
2 goals down at half time and coach gave a strong ‘pep’ talk. Fans from F4 had to wait until deep in the second half before they could see our players wake up and begin to play football. Samuel, Nicolas, Jan and Melle performed courageously, fighting for every ball. On many occasions they had good chances to score but it was not to be. Jelani and Marwan were also good when they had the ball with some noticeable actions.
Even though there were another two more unanswered goals, Iburg where under a lot of pressure from G-M F4 and they were only saved buy the post and a lot of luck.
