Kick n Boboza VS The Car Boutique

Kick n Boboza VS The Car Boutique

Match Report:

There is no doubt that Friday the 12th ‘s game will for a long time remain in the memory box of indoor soccer fans. The fans witnessed the battle between the rock-solid Car Boutique [who currently tops group B] and the most exciting to watch second spot occupants Kick n Boboza.

First Half:

Kicks coach Little Melf started with McD [in the post], Ponki [at the back], Denver [in the middle of the park] and Ru [up front] with Leonardinho and Dumi watching from the bench. It showed from the first whistle that the game will be a tough one when the two sides closed each other down in the midfield. Kicks could not penetrate the Boutiques’ solid wall with good 1-2, 1-2 touches by Denver and Ru. The score remained 0-0 for more than 2 minutes until Kicks’ very own defender Ponki launched a powerful hard-wall breaking missile to put his team in the lead. Boutique cut short the celebration by responding with a goal. Kick’s midfield genius Denver did not like Boutique’s response and scored his team’s 2nd from an awkward position.

While Kick’s were enjoying their 2-1 lead, goalkeeper McD was allegedly penalized for playing the ball outside his box and Boutique converted a penalty into a goal. Kicks Coach Little Melf brought in Dumi for Denver and Leonardinho for Ru. The coach’s good tactics were rewarded shortly when Leonardinho scored an easy goal courtesy of a good pass from Dumi. Leonardinho showed his gratitude when he later set up Dumi who increased Kicks lead to 4-2 with a glowing goal. Boutiques made the score 4-3 before halftime.

Second Half:

Leonardinho went to the post and McD went to play upfront. The second half was exciting with Denver’s brilliant passes entertaining the crowd, Ru’s countless powerful shots getting stopped by Boutiques keeper, Ponki well known for his dribbling skills marshaling Kicks’ defense, I bet the fans got more than what they bargained for when Dumi scored his second goal to make the score 5-3. Boutiques responded by scoring two quick goals to make the game more interesting. 5-5 was on the score board when McD scored a brilliant goal to change the score to 6-5.

Boutiques came very strong on kicks and scored another two quick goals to make it 6-7 in their favor. Leonardinho came to Kicks rescue and scored with a powerful long range shot to make it 7-7. As if the drama was not enough for fans, Boutiques scored a goal in the last minute to make it 7-8. Just when it looked like it was all over for Kicks, it took a 24 seconds count down shot from McD to miraculously change the score to 8-8. A big smile on the coach’s face.

“A game I will never forget” said a fan [with his hand over his lips]
“Only if last game’s goalkeeper Tshepo was in the post, Kicks would have won this game” said the other fan.
