Lakeside Park
Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Barry Crocker started the match with the kick off. 6 minutes into the game, Rob Price recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of 范誉林. Rob Price showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. 张森桑 received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Bern Markcrow tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, 【№1】圆月弯刀's 苏翔崇 got a free kick in the 23rd minute. In the 26th minute, Rob Price hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 范誉林 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Rob Price, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If 邵强邦 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 36th minute, 陆鹰钢 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 【№1】圆月弯刀's supporters rose to their feet, but 陆鹰钢 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bern Markcrow breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The supporters of 【№1】圆月弯刀 booed when HASSELHOFF BABES was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 37 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jacobs Carlisle didn't get a good kick on the ball. 张森桑 recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 38th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Bern Markcrow showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from 邵强邦, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. 邵强邦 took the ball and in the 44 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Bern Markcrow. Bern Markcrow dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when 张森桑 stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 张森桑 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 51st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bern Markcrow having to interfere. If 彭斐锋 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 张森桑's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Bern Markcrow firmly grabbed it by the left post. In the 57th minute, Donovan Korff left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The HASSELHOFF BABES fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-2. 范誉林 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Barry Crocker, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

In the 68th minute of the match Alfred Brooks shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but 范誉林 showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rob Price in the 71st minute of play forced 【№1】圆月弯刀's goalkeeper 范誉林 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 77th minute, 张森桑 got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 79th minute the ball was on its way in behind 【№1】圆月弯刀's goalkeeper 范誉林, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Barry Crocker might have been able to make a better finish in the 83rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over 范誉林. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Barry Crocker ran back to his position shaking his head. After 84 minutes of play, HASSELHOFF BABES's Barry Crocker made it 4-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. 范誉林 was left in no man's land by his defense there! If 张森桑 had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 89th minute, Barry Crocker got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.
