Both Shooters and Inter Bo went into this match with 8 straight losses. I'm sure they thought they could put that streak to an end with this match-up, but so did we.
After conceding a goal in the first minute of the match, we knew our opponents wouldn't be too easy to beat, so we definitely had to step up our game. Both Marc and I had several scoring chances that were almost all interrupted by their grey-haired goalkeeper. However, this came to an end about midway through the match, when a long, soft cross from Marc was placed infront of the 'keeper, and I volleyed the ball into the back of the net. A few minutes later, Brent fed me a long through-ball down the wing, I crossed it to the center where Marc brought the ball up a few feet before passing it right back in a simple one-two fashion for me to tip into the net.
Things were going great, and we tried to maintain our lead, but in the last few minutes, Shooters had taken advantage of a defensive confusion on our part, and slipped it passed Mike.
2-2 is how the game ended, and I think our opponents were happier with the result. Well, except for one player whom Brent had called a "trashmouth" during the game due to her profane language. LOL. She was pissed about that and continued to be a piece of shit until the end of the game; constantly complaining, and even grabbing our players in battles for the ball. Due to her poor attitude, Shooters were awarded less spirit points, and Inter Bo leap-frogged them in the standings!
Tonight we are due to play a rematch of our first game against Ten Bees. We lost the first-leg by a score of 5-3, so we are definitely looking for some vengeance tonight, as well as attempting a push for the 8th and final playoff spot. My prediction: 3-1 for Inter Bo.
