FILBERT STREET
Spectators: 160 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Steve Hyuga started the match with the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Nova Soccer's zone, Felipe Gol stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. José Carvallo came out of the goal and Felipe Gol tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. José Carvallo didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alan Young went, in the 6th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. In the 10thth minute of the game Steve Hyuga who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Leicester Foxes Academy's Hannes Sandwall was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 12 minutes had been played when some careless play by Leicester Foxes Academy's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Juan Manuel Vargas was slow to take the kick. During this time Nova Soccer's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Nova Soccer's Juan Manuel Vargas to fire away a dangerous shot which Hannes Sandwall despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Felipe Gol recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 14th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Leicester Foxes Academy's Oscar Drake was standing unmarked in front of the goal when he, in the 24th play minute, got the ball and easily drilled it into the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Oscar Drake got free with José Carvallo in the 31st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The crowd rose to their feet as Oscar Drake kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving José Carvallo. That made the score 4-0 in the 34 minute of play. If Oscar Drake had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 38th play minute Alan Young came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised José Carvallo. 5-0. In the 43rd match minute, Leicester Foxes Academy was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Martin Ericsson to maneuver through the defense. 46 minutes into the match, Oscar Drake had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of José Carvallo. Nova Soccer's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Oscar Drake was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 6-0. Af the end of the first half the score was 6-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Oscar Drake to make the kick off. In the 51st minute, Oscar Drake made a precise shot to the right of José Carvallo. Nova Soccer's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 7-0. Felipe Gol blasted a shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without José Carvallo having to make a save. The Leicester Foxes Academy fans' excitement grew in the 55th match minute when Leicester Foxes Academy's Oscar Drake looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 8-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. After some fancy dribbling in the 63rd minute, Alan Young managed to get in a good position for a shot. Leicester Foxes Academy's supporters rose to their feet, but Alan Young was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. José Carvallo breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 66th minute the ball was on its way in behind Leicester Foxes Academy's goalkeeper Hannes Sandwall, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Lucian Gamez charged in rather forcefully in the 69th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Lucian Gamez the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Nova Soccer's Lucian Gamez got a free kick in the 69th minute. In the 70th minute of the match Martin Ericsson sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but José Carvallo skillfully saved the ball. The referee felt a red card was in order, 71 minutes into the game, when Lucian Gamez put in a rough tackle. José Carvallo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Niles Andrews in the 73rd minute of the match. 75 minutes into the game, Leicester Foxes Academy's Alan Young nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. José Carvallo made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 9-1.

José Carvallo was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Felipe Gol struck a weak shot in the 90th minute. José Carvallo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Leicester Foxes Academy. Andy Polo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hannes Sandwall having to interfere. The supporters of Nova Soccer booed when Leicester Foxes Academy was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Martin Ericsson didn't get a good kick on the ball. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Leicester Foxes Academy fully deserved thier win.
