Lions beat the Bulls 2-0 in the SPL !
Lions,
What a beautiful day yesterday ! We had a blue sky and 22 degrees and played on the best field in Shanghai at Century Park. A lot of visitors of the park decided to watch the game and they were not disappointed as it was a fierce battle from the kick off ! The Bulls came up with one of the best goal keepers in Shanghai Sebastian and that proved to be important on the day. The Lions looked hungry and started to control the game from the start and the Bulls were betting on their two fast forwards playing on the break. Patrick had a great wide ball to Kevin who made a perfect cross in which was finished by ………Charles ! After that we had a few one on ones and Nicolas came close with a header. Every time the Bulls goalie was in our way. In the second half the game stayed very tight and stand in goalie Garret had to come out a few times to block the strikers. The Bulls never gave up and it started to be harder and harder for us to make the needed second goal. Patrick and Charles came close and even Jack tried to score from the middle line however his shot never made it to the penalty box…….! In the end we got our reward for our hard work on the day another save by the Bulls keeper landed on Nicalos feet and this time he didn’t hesitate and scored the well deserved 2-0 ! The joy was back and we are edging higher in the SPL. Next game will be April 12th versus Gremio !
Cheers Freek
