Superb Yellow Fever takes down the premiers!
Yo Febre fans!
Yellow Fever has proved once again to be on top of their game after claiming their 8th straight victory and defeating 5% Crushed Lemons on this week’s clash. The Febre remains undefeated on the search for its maiden championship title.
Despite the great moment of the Fever in the season, this away game wouldn’t be an easy one for the Febre as they would have to face the Lemons on its home ground. Secondly but not last, because of a very long and overwhelming trip to the “Lemonland”, Court 3. “Mate… the supporters here are like animals! They even tried to keep me out of the game sticking a chewing gum between the bench and my shorts!” – Alex declared. Third and not less important, it was the fact of the match time being set for very late in the night. Due an agreement between Globe TV and Reynard Sports for the live TV transmissions the game had to start after 10pm.
Excuses a side it was time for action! And we had a lot this week. The Lemons started the game determined not to give any spaces for the Febre to play. It was unbelievable how fast they were running putting the Fever players under pressure. Game remained tied up with both teams focused on the defense. YF players couldn’t get through the Lemons defenders so they chose to use long distance kicks. Febre got close to score with Fabz but he wasn’t just getting right. On the other side, the Lemons almost scored twice but Iiitttooo saved the Fever.
A small lack of concentration could make the difference on games such as this. Eladio took his chance kicking from a long range. The ball hit the Lemons defender and bounced right onto Fabz feet. He did not hesitate and fired a rocket kick straight into the top corner, goaaalll 0 x 1. Lemons could have taken the equalizer just before the first half ended but Iiitttooo kept the Febre on the lead.
Second half started and the Lemons were getting tired. They could not keep up with the same defending pressure as they did at the beginning of the match. However, Lemons players knew they had to go after the victory or they would find the Fever launching a long way ahead into the season’s lead.
Febre players were getting a few free spaces and it was time to seal the deal. Vitor left two defenders behind and scored the goooaaalll dislocating the goalkeeper with a light touch, 0 x 2.
It was the goal the Febre need to take control of the game but it didn’t last long. The Lemons find their goal and the game was on again, 1 x 2. At this stage the game result was unpredictable. The Lemons was all attack and the Febre was trying to fing a breach to liquidate the match.
Eladio got the ball, passed by two defenders and touched to Vitor. He quickly returned to Eladio, who left another defender behind and lower cross the ball back to Vitor. This magnificent move couldn’t end up any better when Vitor backed heel the ball to the back of the net. What a brilliant goooaaalll, 1 x 3.
The Lemons players didn’t gave up and trough themselves up to the attack looking for the equalizer. And they were rewarded when their striker broke through scoring their second goal, 2 x 3.
At this stage the game scenario was the Lemons all to the attack and all Yellow Fever players defending the lead no matter what. All the Febre players wanted was to keep the ball away from their goal. And the relief came with the final whistle. Yellow Fever has taken the champions down!
What a glorious football match! Definitely worth the ticket price!
Thanks to the Febre supporters that came along in this trip to the Lemonland.
See you next time
