Challenge

Greenbay Park
Spectators: 43 (Terracing: 33, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) 10 minutes into the game, Jonathan Venegas was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Venezuela's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Greenbay the free kick. A collision led to Greenbay getting a freekick after 12 minutes play. Lu Wagner hit a great ball. Lu Wagner made in the 24th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Will Alderson however managed to control. If Will Alderson had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Will Alderson got free with Jonathan Ferrant in the 41st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Jonathan Ferrant showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Vecdi Başesgioğlu, who was totally free with the ball in the 46th minute. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Tomas Illescas to make the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Venezuela's goal looked a bit too open when Andre Shakespeare came free, but Jonathan Ferrant reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 53 minutes into the match, Tyler Morton had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jonathan Ferrant. Venezuela's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Tyler Morton was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. The Greenbay fans' excitement grew in the 67th match minute when Greenbay's Andre Shakespeare 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 3-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Tomas Illescas struck a weak shot in the 70th minute. Eugen Remus didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Venezuela. Lu Wagner got a throw-in 72 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Will Alderson. After 79 played minutes Venezuela got a freekick which was hit by Jose Correa. Andre Shakespeare sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 93rd minute, Tomas Illescas left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Venezuela fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1. 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. Greenbay fully deserved thier win.
