Kicks took on the powerful Pump Action side in the most controversial game ever. Both teams were locked in a 0-0 battle for quite some time until Pump Action opened the scoring in the 8th minute. The dribbling wizard Ashlic was shown a yellow card after complaining to the ref for not awarding an advantage in an incident where Melf was fouled but the ball managed to get to Ashlic who was only left with the goalkeeper to beat. The yellow card meant a 2 minutes rest for the Kicks player and only Melf & Captain Ponkic had to face the 3 red hot Pump Action bullets. Goalkeeper Tomasino produced several great saves to prevent the Action boys from scoring but could not save the lethal strike that sent Action to a comfortable 2-0 lead.
McDinovic completed a killer pass from Ponkic to grab one for Kicks only for the Action boys to throw in 2 more. Leonardinho reduced the deficit to 4-2 before half time. Drama unfolded during halftime break when the ref showed Ashlic the red card. Kicks protested and the resumption of the 2nd half was delayed. While the protest was going on the ref decided to resume the clock which put Kicks in unfavorable position. There was only 10 minutes to play for when Kicks finally decided to accept the ref’s decision and continue with the game with one man out. Witnesses say they have never seen such a never back down spirit displayed by Kicks, ever. Every player was willing to die in the pitch protecting the glorious name of the team. It was kick-kick and boboza, the next thing Pump Action were facing the score board in disbelief, 5-4 to Kicks is what was written on the score board. That was Kicks’ 17th consecutive win.
