How the hell do you score 5 times using a pressing tactic. Lytic, you might want to get started early in kissing up to HT-Bjorn this season.

-----------------------------------

At The Concrete Jungle, 2045 punters turned up, and despite threatening clouds at the horizon, no rain came. Gargoyles had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Kullenhult - Langeland, Di Palma, Blackburn - El-Nabil, Slyngen, Mccormick, Ball, Ekmo - Manee, bin Selamat.

Screamin' started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Jernigan - Willard, Mcdonald, Lucas - Nichols, Dufek, Alustiza, Kolberg, Taxwell - Metman, Galvez.

It was obvious that Gargoyles were using pressing as their primary tactic. After 3 minutes Screamin' put themselves up by 0 - 1 as Guido Metman finished off a strike from the left with a real cannon placed at the far post. In the 30:th minute Gargoyless Abdellah Mazin El-Nabil received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Guido Metman the unlucky victim, couldn´t continue the game. Gargoyles had a weak ability to press their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. After a fatal mistake from the away teams right side defense in the 37:th minute, an alert Phakphoom Manee bagged the ball, evening the score to 1 - 1. The referee showed Gargoyless Vicente Di Palma the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Gargoyles were very close to putting themselves one up in the 41st minute as Keith Mccormick got through, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. The referee showed Screamin's Ad Taxwell the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The teams went for a half-time break at 1 - 1. Gargoyles held the ball, with a clear 67 percent possession rate.

Gargoyles had a good opportunity to take the lead as Hafiz bin Selamat came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of Cornelius Jernigan. With 72 minutes played Hafiz bin Selamat almost gave the home side the lead with an unexpected free kick set up, but visitors Cornelius Jernigan was onto it, grabbing the would be break through ball. In the 72nd minute Screamin's Arlen Lucas received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. In the 77:th minute Gargoyless Roger Blackburn received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Gargoyles, bringing the final ball possession rate to 80 percent, dominated the battle.

Not having decided a winner at full-time, the match went into extra time. Gargoyles could have put themselves ahead in the 93rd minute as Hafiz bin Selamat missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. Cornelius Ball tired completely after a while, but the team mates managed to cover for his mistakes. Many thought Phakphoom Manee ought to have been awarded a penalty shot in the 109:th minute, as he went down trying to circle the visitors keeper Cornelius Jernigan. The result was still a draw, so the game had to be settled with penalties. Gargoyles´s Hafiz bin Selamat was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Cornelius Jernigan. Score still 1 - 1. Screamin'´s Agustín Alustiza looked insecure all the way from laying the ball down to clipping the ball miles wide of the crossbar. No goal. Gargoyles´s Phakphoom Manee was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Cornelius Jernigan. Score still 1 - 1. Screamin'´s Tyler Willard penalty shot was very well placed but Torbjörn Kullenhult went the right way, blocking it spectacularly. The score was still 1 - 1. Gargoyles´s Karl Ekmo cooly put the ball past Cornelius Jernigan. 2 - 1. Screamin'´s Reg Nichols was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Torbjörn Kullenhult. Score still 2 - 1. Gargoyles´s Abdellah Mazin El-Nabil cockily booted the ball with a short-and-fast instep. The penalty, going just wide of the mark, didn´t produce a goal. Screamin'´s Rune Kolberg seemed nervous, putting the ball to the centre of the goal. Torbjörn Kullenhult however, made an early dive to the right, the ball passing him. 2 - 2. Gargoyles´s Even Langeland was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Cornelius Jernigan. Score still 2 - 2. Screamin'´s Cameron Mcdonald was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Torbjörn Kullenhult. Score still 2 - 2. Gargoyles´s Eigil Slyngen was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Cornelius Jernigan. Score still 2 - 2. Screamin'´s Arlen Lucas was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Torbjörn Kullenhult. Score still 2 - 2. Gargoyles´s Vicente Di Palma was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Cornelius Jernigan. Score still 2 - 2. Screamin'´s Milán Dufek was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Torbjörn Kullenhult. Score still 2 - 2. Gargoyles´s Torbjörn Kullenhult penalty shot was very well placed but Cornelius Jernigan went the right way, blocking it spectacularly. The score was still 2 - 2.

Gargoyles´s Keith Mccormick was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Cornelius Jernigan. Score still 2 - 2. Screamin'´s Germán Galvez looked insecure all the way from laying the ball down to clipping the ball miles wide of the crossbar. No goal. Gargoyles´s Roger Blackburn cooly put the ball past Cornelius Jernigan. 3 - 2. Screamin'´s Cornelius Jernigan was seemingly taken by the gravity of the moment, producing a badly laid penalty, blocked by Torbjörn Kullenhult. Score still 3 - 2. Gargoyles´s best player was Torbjörn Kullenhult. Cornelius Ball was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Screamin' player was without a doubt Arlen Lucas. Agustín Alustiza on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 2.
