We went out with our classic formation, setting our style once again, while Power-Cats improved a 3-4-3 formation (displayed on the previous match against Golden) to a 4-3-3. The locals nullified our scorers most of the time, outnumbering them, and their goalkeeper showed what he's worth for with a great performance. We didn't have majority on ball posession, however our play and control were better, letting us finish the 1st Half with a 2 goal lead. 2nd Half was a whole different story,, when Power-Cats managed to overcome a 0-2 and get the lead 3-2 on 73', when one of their forwards sent the ball inside the goal with a rather lucky scissor-kick. Fortunately, for us, we scored in the last minutes and secure at least 1 point (although in this instance of the tournament it feels we had lost 2 points instead).
We all knew the match was going to be close, but we were expecting the win to remain on top. with this result we fall 2 points behind afc danswijk and Jaïr United.
This is not the end yet, there're still 3 matches and even though Power-Cats made us stumble on our road to get the title, we are supporting them to display the same quality of play next weekend, against our direct rivals Jaïr United.
Next match will be tough for Golden as well, when a diminished AAS will probably try to surprise us in the same way Power-Cats did.
The higher a team climbs, the harsher the weather is. Golden felt a gust but wasn't tumbled by it.
