After a story book season where the
Real Mandarin F.C achieved 7 victories, 1 tied and 1 loss with 35
gols scored and only 8 gols allowed finally made it to a historic
play off season for the first time in their short existence where
they just leveled all their opponents with a first round 7-1 win
against the Navigators F.C followed by an outstanding performance
against the PTC F.C win 3-2 on penalty kicks after regular time and
overtime clash that ended on a 1-1 draw.
At the championship game they were
meet by the powerful well prepared Amelia Islanders F.C in clash of
futbol titans that resulted in a hot contested well play very
physical effort from both teams which displayed great technical and
physical abilities making this one of the most memorable championship
games in recent years.
After a challenging first half with
both teams in a fierce battle with a 0-0 score they resume the second
half with the same intensity display thru out the first half, the
Islanders took advantage of a couple of mishaps by the Real back line
and score 2 goals in the first 5 minutes of play ,15 minutes before
the end Real took charge of the game and in true show of character
and “jogo bonito” mounted an impressive come back starting from
a side kick by Sergio”el che”Rodriguez towards the goal and
headed in by Ndoc”tony”pepa, the equalizer came from a well
executed play started deep in our defense in a series of short passes
by every member of the team until the Islanders defensive side was
reached and a spectacular gol was score by Illiard”messi”abeshi 5
minutes before regulation time expired. The draw continued the rest
of the game with both teams displaying excellent skills and control.
The ten minutes of overtime were
filled with fantastic cautious execution on both parts that pave the
way to a true championship outcome in the form of penalty kicks that
were taken in the following order, Luis”Colombia”velasquez scored
the first for Real, the Islanders countered with a score them selves,
follow by ndoc’s”tony”pepa score on his turn, followed by an
