Last Minute Goal decides the Game

Last Minute Goal decides the Game

On this past Saturday’s 11 a side casual soccer game two completely mixed teams competed against each other. Team “NoCasacas” consisted of mainly Mexican players with the exception of the established players Manni from India and Hector from El Salvador. The team was complemented by three other players from another team. Team “Casacas” was a mix of players from Mexico, the US, Germany, France and Argentina. Mexican Axel and Argentinian goal scorer Mirco played for the first time with the group. French Terence made his second appearance gaining confidence on the pitch. Both teams played in a conservative 4-4-2 formation:

Team NoCasacas

Pablo (MX)

Manni (IN) – Héctor (SV) – Invitado 1 (MX) – Invitado 2 (MX)

Rubén – Dani – César – Hazael (todos MX)

Elías – Invitado 3 (todos MX)

Team Casacas

Banano (MX)

Danny (US) – Axel (MX) – Kim (GER) – Terence (FR)

Tom (CA) – Manuel (MX)– Alberto (MX) – Hakim (FR)

Selim (FR) – Mirco (ARG)

Mexican Manuel scores first Goal

Mexican Manuel Lozano made sure the game started of fresh. Despite being one man less due to the awaited arrival of striker Selim, Manuel managed to score the first goal of the game within a few minutes of the game. This goal was good for the game because it woke up both teams. A fast game developed between the two completely mixed teams. For the next highlight the referee took charge when he stopped the game because Selim, who arrived, changed his shoes real quick but the referee insisted he should do so in the changing room. About 3 minutes later the game could go on…

“NoCasacas” pressured high with success. Salsa dancer Ruben-Rubinski took away the ball from defender Kim about 20 meters in front of the goal. He didn’t hesitate long and took a shot right away, surprising keeper Banano. The ball landed in the right corner, 1:1!

Ruben’s primo Dani made sure NoCasacas would go into half time with a lead. He benefited from a miscommunication between French Terence and Mexican goal keeper Banano. Both players left the ball to the other player with the result of the ball slipping through both of them. Dani, who played for “fuerzas básicas of Pumas, had no problem in pushing the ball passed the goal line, 1:2!

Defensive Block hard to crack

After the half time, Team Casacas played a bit more offensive trying to score the equalizer. However, the defence of NoCasacas organized by experienced El Salvadorian player Hector was difficult to break. A solo run from Kim starting in his own half almost broke the defensive block. But his shot was directed more towards Centro Deportivo los Culhuacanes than the goal. Argentinian striker Mirco however did a better job a few minutes after. He took advantage of some confusion in the defense of NoCasacas and hammered the ball into the net about 10 minutes before the game ended, 2:2!

It all looked like this game would end with a deserved draw for both sides. But the soccer god had a different opinion. Goal keeper Banano intercepted a ball in a way only Neuer knows how to do, far away of his goal. Banano then played the ball to right midfielder Tom to start a quick counter attack. Tom tried to keep the ball save though playing back to his team mate in the defense. Team mate? No! He confused one of the invited players that had a similar jersey color than his team mates. So the ball ended in the feat of that player while Banano was still far out of his goal. He ran quickly towards the goal but the striker of team NoCasacas took a quick shot that landed in the goal before Banano could reach it, 2:3 for team NoCasacas! The final result!
