Cypress
Spectators: 38 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Roger Bonds made the kick off which started today's match. After some careless play in the Cypress defense, Ralph Cuevas kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jose Longoria. The Cypress fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jose Longoria should have stopped the shot. Jose Longoria showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arda Göksel Hunalp in the 7th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 8th minute, Ralph Cuevas managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kings Castle's supporters rose to their feet, but Ralph Cuevas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jose Longoria breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 11 minutes into the game, Raymundo Haas recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Cruz Varela. Raymundo Haas showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-1. Mathieu Dekeyser lost his temper 15 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Kings Castle fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 14th minute. Penalty! Cypress were awarded a corner in the 17th minute after Kings Castle's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Berat Taybars took the corner. Cypress's Berat Taybars was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Cruz Varela in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. After a rather tough play, Cypress's Lincoln Herbert got a free kick in the 20th minute. 21 minutes into the game, Roman Hlus cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Jose Longoria was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Kings Castle's William Fux got a good chance for a goal in the 26th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 30 minutes into the match, Kings Castle's goal looked a bit too open when Chu Mo Yong came free, but Cruz Varela reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Roger Bonds took the ball and in the 31 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cruz Varela. Cruz Varela dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-3. An unexpectedly hard shot by Roman Hlus in the 35th minute of play forced Cypress's goalkeeper Jose Longoria to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gerardo Daley kicked well hit freekick during the 37th minute of the match. After having played for 38 minutes, Carl Clifton managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kings Castle's supporters crossed their fingers, but Carl Clifton was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Ralph Cuevas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jose Longoria took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Roman Hlus, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Arda Göksel Hunalp hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match. Berat Taybars recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 48th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Jose Longoria had great luck who in the 55thth minute grab hold of the ball when Roman Hlus from a short distance tried to put the ball inside the right post. An unexpectedly hard shot by Roman Hlus in the 57th minute of play forced Cypress's goalkeeper Jose Longoria to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Roman Hlus came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the Kings Castle 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 Roman Hlus couldn't finish the play. Ralph Cuevas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jose Longoria didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Sid Kline went, in the 63rd minute, to the upper right corner, 2-4 was the resulting score. Sid Kline fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jose Longoria having to interfere. If Ralph Cuevas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Lincoln Herbert fell near the penalty area in the 86th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Cypress's protests and gave Lincoln Herbert a yellow card for diving instead. After 86 played minutes Cypress got a freekick which was hit by Lincoln Herbert. In the 88th minute of the match Kings Castle got a corner. Cypress's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Carl Clifton ran over to the corner to take the kick. With an all-out effort, Kings Castle's Jose Longoria threw himself towards the right post 91 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Roman Hlus, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. If Ralph Cuevas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Roger Bonds kicked well hit freekick during the 94th minute of the match. The attack was good, but when Roman Hlus in the 99th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Kings Castle's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
