League Play-Off

Bethnal Green and Ha
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Kalasinha Bhosale got the match started through his kick off. If Kalasinha Bhosale had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kalasinha Bhosale in the 19th minute of play forced Salcombe United's goalkeeper Amandeep Desai to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Salcombe United's Samsher Sinha got a free kick in the 20th minute. After 21 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Salcombe United! Jodh Chatterjee placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! When Ahika Badyal came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Salcombe United 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 Ahika Badyal couldn't finish the play. Anudara Kale took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Srinivas Moktan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Samsher Sinha recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 36th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Srinivas Moktan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anudara Kale having to interfere. Srinivas Moktan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ahika Badyal was the one to do the kick off. Srinivas Moktan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 53rd minute of the match, but Anudara Kale made a huge save. Anudara Kale made an important save on a dangerous shot by Srinivas Moktan in the 54th minute. 56 minutes into the match, Salcombe United's Ahika Badyal sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Anudara Kale narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Amandeep Desai showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kalasinha Bhosale in the 57th minute of the match. In the 62nd match minute, Bethnal Green and Hackney FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Karmavajra Virdee to maneuver through the defense. Amritaprabha Chadha hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. Balvinder Siddhu was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 64th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Ahika Badyal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anudara Kale having to interfere. In the 69th minute Anubhava Dalel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Amandeep Desai saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Sukhjiwan Parab managed to get in a good position for a shot. Bethnal Green and Hackney FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Sukhjiwan Parab was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Amandeep Desai breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Akupara Dias hit a great freekick 76 minutes into the match. Salcombe United's Balvinder Siddhu shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 82nd minute of play. The shot was stopped by Anudara Kale but with some difficulty. Sukhjiwan Parab recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 84th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Salcombe United's Amandeep Desai played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kalasinha Bhosale in the 89th minute of play. Kalasinha Bhosale received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Amandeep Desai tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Salcombe United's zone, Kalasinha Bhosale stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Amandeep Desai came out of the goal and Kalasinha Bhosale tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 95th minute, Sukhjiwan Parab got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
