Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and The Yellow Boot saw a crowd turnout of 10100. Yellow had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Åhnmo - Haas, Knott, Harley - Brunner, Borgstedt, Alden, Leu, Cody - Tomlin, Burney.
Karis had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Welsh - Parish, Leavitt, Addison - Ramos, Egibar, Swimm, Smith, Cote - Jones, Hernández.
It was an obvious ambition of Yellow to attack on the flanks. Karis saw most attack opportunites on the wings and were directing their passes that way. Yellows Billie Tomlin gave, after 9 minutes, the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Some brilliant football from the visitors right wing resulted in a 11th minute levelling of scores as Kariss Will Jones equalised to 1 - 1. In the games 11th minute Yellow´s Theodore Burney head butted an opponent nastily and so the referee sent him off immediately. Karis took the lead in the games 21st minute with 1 - 2 after some elegant plays down the middle. Fernando Hernández was the scorer. After 26 minutes Gary Cote made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to Fernando Hernández who shuffled the ball past the keeper. The score was now 1 - 3. The structure of the game started to change as Karis decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. After the ball got lifted in from the left Will Jones was on his own in the home side´s penalty area 26 minutes into the game, and should have scored, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. The referee showed Kariss Michael Addison the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Yellow´s John Alden left the field after 36 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Trevor Esparza. The teams went for a half-time break at 1 - 3. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Karis, with an impressive 54 percent possession of the ball.
Karis´s Fernando Hernández received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 61st minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 1 - 4. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. By then Fernando Hernández was a three time scorer - a hat trick! Will Jones was, after 70 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors lead with a well placed diving header but home side keeper Magnus Åhnmo saved. Trevor Esparza got left behind when Karis´s Gary Cote made a sudden pull forward in the 73rd minute, finishing off with a swift strike. 1-5! Karis had, after 75 minutes of the game, worked the left side industriously, creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but somehow didn´t achieve closure. The visitors Vernon Parish took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and central backs in the 79:th minute. 1 - 6 for Karis. Karis held the ball, with a clear 63 percent possession rate.
Yellow´s best player was Billie Tomlin. Rolf Leu on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Karis player was without a doubt Willie Smith. Kelvin Ramos on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 6.
Not a good way to end the season, but at least I am still 2nd in my series. One of my forwards (who had ironically just come back from a suspension) got sent off early in the game and a recently purchased midfielder with formidable stamina was injured in the first half of the game and was promptly replaced by a midfielder with poor stamina.
