Malonton
Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Romain Barry made the kick off which started today's match. After having played for 6 minutes, James Olsen managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Malonton FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but James Olsen was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dallas Vogel could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 8th minute of the match, but Rodrick Crow made a huge save. After 9 played minutes Garnish C got a freekick which was hit by Gilberto Leal. If James Olsen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Urbain Sorenson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Augustus Gaulin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Dallas Vogel got free with Rodrick Crow in the 18th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After having played for 23 minutes, Donnell Greenberg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Malonton FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Donnell Greenberg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Urbain Sorenson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Augustus Gaulin in the 26th minute of play. 28 minutes into the match, Augustus Gaulin had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Urbain Sorenson. Malonton FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Augustus Gaulin was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Theirn Mixon hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 34th minute, Dallas Vogel managed to get in a good position for a shot. Malonton FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Dallas Vogel was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rodrick Crow breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a defensive mix-up in Garnish C's zone, Dallas Vogel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rodrick Crow came out of the goal and Dallas Vogel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After the first half Garnish C were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell James Olsen to make the kick off. Garnish C's Rodrick Crow played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by James Olsen in the 56th minute of play. James Olsen's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Rodrick Crow read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 58th minute of play. Malonton FC were awarded a corner in the 62th minute after Garnish C's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Blaine Pelland took the corner. Blaine Pelland made a great header on Malonton FC's corner, it was just that Garnish C's Rodrick Crow managed to reach the ball for a save. Dallas Vogel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rodrick Crow having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Dallas Vogel's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Rodrick Crow was relentless in the 69th minute of the game. 70 minutes into the match, Augustus Gaulin notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Malonton FC's Urbain Sorenson. Urbain Sorenson was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Romain Barry sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Garnish C booed when Malonton FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Donnell Greenberg didn't get a good kick on the ball. 82 minutes into the match, Garnish C's goal looked a bit too open when James Olsen came free, but Rodrick Crow reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Dallas Vogel struck a weak shot in the 90th minute. Rodrick Crow didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Malonton FC. Dallas Vogel's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Rodrick Crow read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 97th minute of play.
