ABFC Sharks vs Al-Caliph GAME 8 Report 100509 A spectacular game of Wits and Spirit. We only had 11 players due to the weather as the organisers had always cancelled out the games when ever there were pre showers on the pitches. Due to this fact some players assumed the worst for today as well. No matter what the game must still go on. We need to defend well and take our chances properly as this fixture is one of the decider for the season. 1st Half FC Sharks kick off..... Within 10 mins a Freekick was given. Fazli drive through a low ball and straight at the keeper but due to the strong flight of the ball, the keeper only manage to punch and that drove the ball towards the sky, our new comer and Striker Zafran, followed through and the ball landed right in front him and he tap the ball to Goal..... Sharks Leads by 1 Goal...!!! Al Caliph up their game speed and tried to gain possession and challenge for every ball..... As a matter a fact, they hit the Goal poles 3 times from many attempts at goal.... Its a very elusive period for them as the goal seems to be coming very soon. Our Striker Hafshya, took on the defence and spotted the GK out of position and he send in a lop and Got the team another Goal..... His Great Vision had got us Goal No.2...! Half time with Sharks Leading 2 - 0 2nd Half Al Caliph increase their attacking options and sent in more forwards to impose their presence, this effort paid off as they got one back almost immediately due to poor marking from all. 1 player had to fall out due to severe cramp. I went in as L Mid. With the goal scored by Al Caliph, all we could think off is to defend as well as we can. Then a Corner kick was given, I took it and sent the ball into the box, Hafshya tried a shot but it rebounded to Zafran and he too took a shot and............ He scores..... The newcomer does it Again...... He chalks up No.2 in his 1st Debut. Sharks Leads 3 - 1! Another player Syed was cramping up as well. Al Caliph gathered and their Coach gave final instructions.... They started attacking from the left side knowing that is our weak link for today's game. They managed to get the much needed goal to put the pressure back on us....... Shraks still leading by a single goal to 3 - 2. We just composed ourselves and started another attack. Our Striker Hafshya, took on the defenders by himself, after pulling all the defenders attention onto him, he releases the Ball for Danny who took the ball in further and he beats Al Caliph L Back, takes another tap and managed to beat the keeper as well and without any delay he tap the ball in........SHARKS SCORES AGAIN...............!!!!!!!!! An euphoria erupted from all of us as we manage to capitalise from each goal we had conceded.... We lead 4 - 2 with a few more minutes to go. AL Caliph sent in all numbers on the left and put more pressure onto us and with that move our Keeper gave away a indirect freekick in the Penalty Box due to an infringement. Al Caliph needs this Goal to come and Sharks send all their players in to choke up the goal mouth. Al Caliph sent the ball to our feet and with that Fazli cleared it to safety. Sharks breathe easier for this scare.....Finally, the whistle came again and all the burden of pressure just ease off into thin air. Man of the match award goes to everyone and it was hard deciding who. But i feel Zafran should take this cos he got us the decider and Scored 2 very Crucial Goals for his 1st Debut. Man of the Match: Zafran Our Captain Syed, did a lot of great distribution today. Andy cut out a lot of high ball. Fazli handled the pressure very well. Jo played with an injured ankle. Alu, defended each ball very well. Danny runs on teh right was breath taking. Hafshya selfless play showed a class of quality by its own. Adam, held as best as he could for the Mid. Isk came to help us on the left. Jo's undying spirit kept the team alive...Overall its a Good Game. Al Caliph did very well too. Always enjoyed playing with them as they are a discipline outfit and they let their skills do the talking. This game could had gone to anyone..... Kudos to Caliph!
