KPMG FC 2 – 2 Raging Bulls With a David O’ Leary
type speech and the start Mark Hegarty told us to go out and play with the
same determination and passion as we did in the previous two games. We did so
except KPMG weren’t ready for the blunders that would cost them all three
points. The game started
well for Bulls as they attacked early on with conviction. The first chance of
the game fell to their striker only 15 yards out. The ball was shot low and to
the bottom right corner but a magnificent save from Barthez prevented the
Bulls taking an early lead. KPMG pushed
forward and tried to make chances for themselves. A should from Cossy saw the
ball go just inches wide and KPMG felt they were beginning to get control of
the game. That was until a free was given away only 20 yards out. With three in
the wall Barthez took u his position. The Bulls midfielder swerved the free
with accuracy and venom. The ball flew into the top corner of the net with
the help from a touch from Barthez’s fingertips. Not only were KPMG disgusted
as conceding a goal early on but also Barthez felt as though he made a brutal
effort at trying to stop the shot. KPMG you would
have thought would drop their heads and play defensive football but it was
quite the opposite. A quick ball down the right sent Briano on one of his
Brazilian runs. He played the ball through for Cossy who miraculously kept
the ball in play. With one touch and a quick glance he fired a shot low and
passed the bewildered Bulls keeper. Midway through the
first half Cossy went on one of his solo efforts. He saw Riddick on the left
wing that he slotted the ball to beautifully. The quick one two and Riddick
had the ball back. He ran at he defence, turning them inside out. Looked up
and let loose on goal. The ball took a slight deflection and flew into the
back of the net. KPMG were in the lead and in control of the game. KPMG nearly got
a fourth when Riddick curled a free kick towards the to corner of the goal.
It looked in all the way but the Bulls keeper made a fantastic save to leave
the Bulls’ deficit to only one goal. The second half
started like the first half ended with KPMG enjoying the majority of play. With
chances galore and missed opportunities KPMG could’ve had at least five goals
in this game. On another solo effort Cossy flew down the left wing and turned
the defence inside out. Instead of rolling the ball across to the unmarked
Tank, Cossy decided have a go for his hat-trick but his effort was blown out
for a throw down the right wing. KPMG appealed
for a penalty when Briano was hacked down inside the danger area. Much to the
accountants surprise the referee waved play on. With only two
minutes on the clock KPMG had wrapped up their first victory in four games
but they weren’t counting on having such a retard between the sticks. The
ball was played through and took a deflection off a KPMG player. Instead of
picking the ball up Barthez decided to kick the ball up the field. But the
mistake was made. The ball flew straight to a Bs player who split the offside
trap with a great pass. The striker to one look up and slotted the ball home.
Like the jews
during WWII, Barthez endured similar abuse as that lashed out by the Germans.
Will he get his game in the next match? Only time will tell but in my opinion
he has the chances of Bob Hope or No Hope. |
