Pressing Matters
Gandhik Chitre thoroughly enjoyed his time at the Freakshow Flash stadium, if only for the incredible view. "You just don't get mountains like that back home." he exclaimed. "It was so majestic, that I almost forgot about the game at times."
Farmer Bunnies would also squeak out a win in Thailand against III.5 challengers Blade Runners Return, who have won their last six competitive matches. Coincidentally also having purple as their club colours, and embarking on a pressing game, the Runners would concede after 35 minutes to
Gabriel Priebe's misdirection of Jindřich Švarc from the spot, this coming after a very soft handball call.
The only other credible chance throughout would be
Mauro Fau's first-time volley on a subtle knock-on by
Amirul Jufri Khairil from a late corner, but that would scrape the outside of the right upright. It was good enough for acting captain
Koushan Khatibi, however. "To me, any win is a win."
Grilled International prevailed over Guyanese III.13 leaders FC Sarajevo-Gvajana in South America too, after dominating possession.
Remond Bergervoet chipped it cheekily in the eighth minute for the first, before
Egidius van der Duin and Safari 'Jumanji' bin Hj Jali struck within a minute of each other, about the 35th.
Chua Jun Long then closed it up in the second half, as Ben Addai made several excellent saves off Bergervoet throughout.
