Not Over Not Yet
If the Birds' legal troubles remained unresolved this Christmas Eve, they would at least not be distracted in defending their place at the top of III.1. Controlar kept pace as they made heavy work of a 5-2 win at Sunrise Treasure, being pegged back before David Ramos' late hat-trick. Prince Huang got two as Phantasm Hotspurs did what they had to in defeating Krattene 4-0, as tpyers gave themselves some breathing room in upsetting Mayuyu AKB48 2-0 at home.
The Buns would not let last Sunday's setback affect them, as they overcame WhiteSandsMechs 3-0 in Pasir Ris.
Edgar Popienia would be their star today with two great finishes sandwiching
Amirul Jufri Khairil's close-range conversion, as the Mechs opened up from long distance without causing
Gilberto Sorondo undue concern. Qatari winger Fahed Al-Kaabei came close in the 72nd minute as Janosch Carlen broke through from the right, but Sorondo held his ground well.
McCoys would moreover do Farmer Bunnies a favour after beating them last week, as they held Brighton UK to a 3-3 draw, allowing the Buns to rise back to second - as FC Phondle took over at the top by edging the Rovers via António Vasco Gouveia's 59th minute run. Mangrove Pittas made the most of their trip to AFC Woodlands, recording a 6-0 that should help them solidify their mid-table status, at least.
It was
Leri Bezhanishvili's turn to shine with two as International got another 6-0, this time at Ponyhof, with Baboon Show St. Pauli beating Nice AS 2-0 in a clash of the also-rans. There was no luck against V.15's FC Bull Bay Terrier's however, as the top Jamaican side crushed them 3-0 building on a solid defence, and then Argentine Number Ten Moti Shorer's chops. With the Kickers held to a goalless draw by Orkanger IF, and Rabissale falling to Korfinátoři due to an early Metoděj Klimsza drive, V.56's chances for some collective glory are all but done.
