Challenge

你过来啊
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Toni Mauzer got the match started through his kick off. 叶翔's late challenge caught a Croatia's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. 叶翔 helped the player get up and apologised. In the 4th match minute, 提钱退休 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 叶翔 to maneuver through the defense. 蒋文广 might have been able to make a better finish in the 8th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ilija Skugor. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. 蒋文广 ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 10th minute, 张锋海 reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Ilija Skugor. The goal made the score 1-0. Ilija Skugor didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from 武兴阳 went, in the 17th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-0 was the resulting score. Ilija Skugor made a fantastic save in the 23rd minute, when 张锋海 sent off a good shot on target. 叶翔 was shown his second yellow card after 28 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent.

In the 37th minute the ball was on its way in behind 提钱退休's goalkeeper 叶永轩, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 叶永轩 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Toni Mauzer in the 40th minute of play.

Neven Culina hit a great freekick 46 minutes into the match. 武兴阳 struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Ilija Skugor didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 提钱退休.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. 蒋文广 was the one to do the kick off. Ilija Skugor took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 乔烨阳, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If 武兴阳 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 55th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 56th minute 蒋文广 shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ilija Skugor saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 乔烨阳 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

A collision led to 提钱退休 getting a freekick after 85 minutes play. 张锋海 hit a great ball. With an all-out effort, Croatia's 叶永轩 threw himself towards the right post 86 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Martin Bosak, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Croatia's Martin Bosak got a good chance for a goal in the 87th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When the referee blew the final whistle, you could see the dissatisfaction in the 提钱退休 players' eyes. They were disappointed they hadn't taken more from the game.
