Never Livius It Down
Teo Chuan Yong had it as a disappointing outing, which had to be suggested by the scoreline. "We matched them in possession, but Balul shut Chan down completely today." the Number Three observed. "Then again, we're at entirely different stages of development, so that much might have been expected."
Random Curiosity FC would save the day by defeating the Guam Giants 2-0 through second-half strikes from Manuel August and then Giannos Giangou, as Arcturules confirmed the aggregate draw by tying No Taxation FC, two-all. Both sides had two Challenger Cup trophies under their belt, but it was the Guam club who appeared to be headed for victory, until Jouko Hyvärinen converted a contested penalty in a dramatic injury time finish.
Grilled International suffered a 1-3 league defeat at the hands of Livius International, again stymied by suicidal defending in the first half. Nobody took charge of Angelo Becchetti when he went up for Chau Youyuan's corner delivery in the 26th minute, and
Querubim Santos Couto was again left pointing fingers at
Tommy Dongelmans and
Arcadi Sansalvador, when neither attacked an eminently-clearable right-sided cross in the 34th minute, leaving Vítek Glaser with another free header, belatedly deflected marginally by Sansalvador.
Tibor Atzenhain would pull one back as
Collin Kleden replaced the unprepossessing Spaniard at half-time, but International's renewed push for an equalizer would result only in Božo Stojanac's goal on the counter, with nine minutes left. This leaves them mired in fourth place level with two otehr sides on seven points, with Rohan's lead at the top cut to three points, after being held 1-1 by roter stern ghana.
