ManagerZone Crew Sta
Spectators: 10 (Terracing: 0, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Peter Linkhorst started the match with the kick off. Patrick Armstrong showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Erik Alberg in the 3rd minute of the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Aristides Dabi in the 7th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Patrick Armstrong saved ManagerZone Crew from getting behind. Peter Linkhorst sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 14th minute Erik Alberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Patrick Armstrong saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Robert Ununger fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fernando Isusko having to interfere. Patrick Armstrong showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bonifacio Tartalo, who was totally free with the ball in the 33rd minute. Fernando Isusko made an important save on a dangerous shot by Peter Linkhorst in the 35th minute. 40 minutes into the game, Pablo Enol cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-3. Patrick Armstrong was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Aristides Dabi to make the kick off. 50 minutes into the match, ManagerZone Crew's goal looked a bit too open when Bonifacio Tartalo came free, but Patrick Armstrong reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 52nd minute, ManagerZone Crew's Anderson Schulle seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Anderson Schulle the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of ManagerZone Crew protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Anderson Schulle had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 53rd minute, Anderson Schulle hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to ManagerZone Crew getting a freekick after 57 minutes play. Thorsten Dietz hit a great ball. When Teodosio Ucedo came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the Reyes F.C. fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Teodosio Ucedo couldn't finish the play. Adrian Våleman struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Fernando Isusko didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ManagerZone Crew. Patrick Armstrong made an important save on a dangerous shot by Bonifacio Tartalo in the 67th minute. Thorbjörn Olerius received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 69th minute. Fernando Isusko tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Reyes F.C.'s Desiderio Mero was substituted for Pablo Enol. Mikolaj Chrobak hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. Patrick Armstrong came out of the goal in the 75th minute to try and stop a shot by Reyes F.C.'s Aristides Dabi. But to his dismay, Aristides Dabi quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-5. 78 minutes into the game, Desiderio Mero recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Patrick Armstrong. Desiderio Mero showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-6. 81 minutes into the match, Reyes F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Thorbjörn Olerius came free, but Fernando Isusko reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Thorsten Dietz hit a great freekick 83 minutes into the match. Patrick Armstrong made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Aristides Dabi in the 86th minute of play. Fernando Isusko took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adrian Våleman, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 95th minute Desiderio Mero shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Patrick Armstrong saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The ManagerZone Crew supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Reyes F.C.'s performance. The match ended with a win for Reyes F.C..
