Challenge

CLAUDIO SUÁREZ
Spectators: 42 (Terracing: 32, 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. Vladislav Viktorov started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute of the match Antal Valentin shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Tenis Penisson showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 5th minute Hegedus Henrik shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tenis Penisson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fodor Daniel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fidel Urbes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Conalep 197's Tenis Penisson played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Antal Valentin in the 13th minute of play. Hungary's Katona Janos was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Tenis Penisson in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. 14 minutes into the match, Katona Janos had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tenis Penisson. Conalep 197's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Katona Janos was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Antal Valentin in the 18th minute of play forced Conalep 197's goalkeeper Tenis Penisson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Fodor Daniel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vladislav Viktorov, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 22 minutes had been played when some careless play by Conalep 197's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Antal Valentin was slow to take the kick. During this time Hungary's players had a chance to rest. A nice corner shot did that Antal Valentin got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Tenis Penisson quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. If Vladislav Viktorov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Antal Valentin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Tenis Penisson tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A collision led to Conalep 197 getting a freekick after 29 minutes play. Raimundo Santikurtz hit a great ball. Tenis Penisson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Major Barna in the 30th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Hungary's Vörös Henrik got a free kick in the 32nd minute. Hungary were awarded a corner in the 37th minute after Conalep 197's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Antal Valentin took the corner. Hegedus Henrik kicked well hit freekick during the 39th minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Antal Valentin to strike the kick off in the second half. Takacs Tibor might have been able to make a better finish in the 53rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tenis Penisson. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Takacs Tibor ran back to his position shaking his head. 56 minutes into the game, Hungary's Antal Valentin nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Tenis Penisson made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. Fidel Urbes took the ball and in the 59 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Fodor Daniel. Fodor Daniel dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. Lino Birjaio's late challenge caught a Hungary's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Lino Birjaio helped the player get up and apologised. In the 64th minute, Lino Birjaio hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The long shot by Balazs Lajos in the 66th minute really tested Tenis Penisson's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. In the 71st minute, Hungary's Antal Valentin dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-3. With a little luck, Conalep 197's Tenis Penisson got control of the ball when Antal Valentin tried to sneak it across the goal line. 85 minutes into the game, Loid Forger cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-3. Fodor Daniel was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 89th minute, Hungary's Antal Valentin dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-4. After a rather tough play, Hungary's Major Barna got a free kick in the 94th minute. When the match was over Hungary could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Conalep 197 throughout the match.
