soccerunited.Ab had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players took the field: Gargan - Triplett, Wilson, Banlandingham, Salo - Cisneros, Carvajal, Melvin, Haas - Smallwood, Albino.

soccerunited.Ab's R. Smallwood refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 16 minutes. soccerunited.Ab had to make a substitution after 17 minutes. J. Banlandingham limped off the field and was replaced by R. Tutu. After 28 minutes, the defensive line of soccerunited.Ab created a counterattack through the middle that gave R. Smallwood a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. A wonderful trick by J. Cisneros that left P. Bellamy bewildered really deserved to end in a goal but the keeper made a fine save. Olis fans held their breath as J. Boyles scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Olis had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

After 50 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and M. Reagan gave the Olis supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. Confident in their lead, Olis's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The visitors' right side was dangerous today; R. Carvajal made the home team's keeper look foolish as he easily reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 57 minutes into the match. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave R. Redondo from Olis a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 63 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Olis's C. Marx swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. With 67 minutes played, Olis put themselves up 3 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to P. Bellamy, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 68 minutes in, soccerunited.Ab's O. Albino received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Against a lesser team, Olis could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 83 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. Possession in this half belonged to Olis, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

Olis's top performer was clearly D. Trotter. T. Hite on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important soccerunited.Ab player was R. Carvajal. C. Gargan was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
