Arena: Low Trousers FC Arena
Crowd: 2497
Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Low Trousers FC Arena saw a crowd turnout of 2497. Trousers started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. Lineup: Judson - Cannell, Zickus, Bhardwaj, Graupner - Mark, Landers, Johnson, Williams - Gray, McKay.
Manglers tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Paiva - Spreadbury, Carrol, de Klaver - Bryan, Turner, Davis, Quigley-Parks - Greenwood, Taylor, Denezhkina.
Trousers immediately set off pressing their opponents. Manglers mostly ignored the flanks in favour of attacks in the middle. In the 3rd minute cheers broke out as Durk Landers found his way through the guests central defense line, clipping the 1 - 0 goal in for Trousers. The referee showed Manglerss Mark Bryan the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Trousers's ability to press their opponents all over the field paid off frequently. Manglers were close to putting the equaliser away in the 35:th minute as the opposing defence lost control of the ball in a scuffle in front of the goal, but in the end the ball was cleared over the sideline. Manglers levelled the score in the 35:th minute at 1 - 1, as Bill Carrol struck home after a fine midfield combination, leaving him completely unmarked. Manglers´s 1 - 2 goal came from a questionable penalty. David Spreadbury struck that one home without a second thought. The referee showed Trouserss Chris Gray the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The teams went for a half-time break at 1 - 2. Manglers held the ball, with a clear 63 percent possession rate.
The game had been on for 48 minutes when Adam Davis broke through to the right, upping the score to the home crowd´s dismay. Manglers´s were up 1 - 3. In the 50:th minute Trouserss Dharamendra Bhardwaj received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Erdem de Klaver received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack of experience, in the 56:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. Manglers´s Adam Davis received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 77:th minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 1 - 4. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. By now Manglers were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. Erdem de Klaver wasn´t fit enough for a full game made several mistakes out of sheer tiredness. One of them was exploited by Paul Graupner who squeezed in 2-4. The visitors Erdem de Klaver took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side´s goalie and central backs in the 79:th minute. 2 - 5 for Manglers. Some fine manouvering on the left lead to an 82nd minute Manglers goal, making it 2 - 6. Ian Turner was noted down as the scorer. Bill Carrol came close to extending the visitors lead as he, completely unmarked in front of the goal, lifted a ball over Gordon Judson, hitting the bar. Manglers held the ball, with a clear 77 percent possession rate.
Most important Trousers player was Chris Gray. Peter Zickus on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Manglers player was without a doubt Walsh Greenwood. Mark Bryan on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 6.
11 from Eleven.
8 points ahead with a possible 9 to go.
Promotion is mine.
Now to make sure that I get automatic promotion.
I can afford a draw but not a loss.
