Friendly League

Romolo Di Reto
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ricky Sempels took the kick off in the first half of the match. Sao Brasola's Cristo Kane played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ricky Sempels in the 6th minute of play. Sao Brasola's Enrico De Tommasi quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Bram Cornelis, made in the 9th minute of the game. After some careless play in the Sao Brasola defense, Ricky Sempels kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Cristo Kane. The Sao Brasola fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Cristo Kane should have stopped the shot. A collision led to Three Towers United getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Bram Cornelis hit a great ball. Gertjan Imberechts showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alberigo Giuliani in the 17th minute of the match. Rocky Villyn struck a weak shot in the 20th minute. Cristo Kane didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Three Towers United. In the 22nd minute, Elia Tuzzolino hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Anthony Tristezza hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. Three Towers United's attentive Rocky Villyn managed to snatch the ball when Enrico De Tommasi made a throw-in in the 28th minute of the game. Attilio Granata sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 35th minute of the game Enrico De Tommasi made a throw-in which Attilio Granata played forward. When Attilio Granata came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the Sao Brasola 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 Attilio Granata couldn't finish the play.

The wind increased when Elia Tuzzolino made the kick off in the second half. In the 65th minute Rocky Villyn shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cristo Kane saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Sao Brasola getting a freekick after 75 minutes play. Anthony Tristezza hit a great ball. Ivo Cuppens might have been able to make a better finish in the 76th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Cristo Kane. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ivo Cuppens ran back to his position shaking his head. Gertjan Imberechts took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pio Padre, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to Three Towers United getting a freekick after 94 minutes play. Ricky Sempels hit a great ball. The Three Towers United players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
