We are facing a new match of
International Elite PRO league XXXIII
Tonight's match official is Alejandro Sigüenza, born in España and he belongs to the La Rioja association. He has a reputation for letting the game flow, but has been criticized for being too lenient sometimes and there is a chance players will try to get away with a few cheeky fouls.
Min.3, disastrous pass by Sampo Lind who tries to pick out Faustino Queirós, but the receiver could do nothing to control the ball. They will not create too many chances with that sort of slap dashery.
Min.12, 'deviated kick of Teuvo Johansson, in a play which started by a great cross from the right side of Faustino Queirós and a wonderful head pass of Sampo Lind right in front of an open goal. He failed ,miserably.'My blind 74-year old grandma would've even scored that'.
Min.15, Faustino Queirós loses the ball to Tikhomir Kapralov who takes advantage of the situation and charges down the field in opening up a scoring opportunity. Oh and he's wasted what could have been a real chance there.
Min.16, the counterattack was led by José de las Casas. He tries to lob the keeper who has left his area however the ball goes just wide of the post.
Min.23, Kasper Huusko sends a lovely pass to the feet of Teuvo Johansson who races through the defence going 1-on-1 with the keeper.... beautiful goal! The referee's disallowed it; the linesman's flag was up. I don't think he got that one right, and the players agree. Teuvo Johansson has lost his temper and wants to go have words with the assistant. He's having to be restrained by his team mates. You can understand his frustration.
Min.26, Kasper Huusko sent a deep cross towards Jasse Perovuo but the keeper has come charging out and Gennadiy Yatchenko quickly sends a long punt up the field starting a counterattack.
Min.27, Perparim Roiha has to the corner to challenge José de las Casas for the ball but erm, he failed. Fortunately for him, Jussi Tarvajärvi of FC Törkymöykky has got across to cover him and plays it safe and gives away the corner.
Min.36, Gooooool !!!, great cross by Ricardo Figueiredo that goes right onto the head of José de las Casas who directs it past Perparim Roiha. Great goal to make it 0-1.
The attendance spectators were disappointed, they couldn’t believe how José de las Casas scored first for the away team and how things became difficult.
Min.43, Faustino Queirós sees space on the byline and he runs into it and crosses towards the head of Dan-Ola Ikävalko. However, Sergei Astakhov decided he fancied doing his job and cleared it with an assured header. Dan-Ola Ikävalko, is holding his side on the ground and complaining bitterly about Sergei Astakhov's elbow to his ribs at the same time, what a talent he has there...get up you nancy.
Min.45,it's the end of the first half. The teams make their way to dressing rooms. The scoreboard of this 45 minutes is 0-1.
The home team had 82 %. possession of the ball.
Min 46, from the journalist tower we can see that the home side are attacking via by the center and the right touchline and focusing its defense by the center. The away team is trying to attack by the left touchline and focusing its defense without special attention in any area.
Min.53,'the defence of Zarnitsa has cut the long ball towards the right touchline of FC Törkymöykky, Jussi Tarvajärvi fought like a young wild boar but he could not leave with the ball.' Thanks for that Manuel.
Min.58, It seems that Andrei Levkin has some physical problem, he is lying down on the pitch. Maybe it isn't physical at all, he could just be a bit tired or like the smell of grass. Nope, no, i was wrong, it is a physical problem, the physio has confirmed that he is in fact, hurt.
Min.59 Andrei Levkin has gone down injured, but it looks like he will run it off.
Min.60, Leonard Marian Ioniță has headed over from 4 yards out, after a pin point cross from Tikhomir Kapralov. Wasted opportunity.
Min.68, Faustino Queirós is unable to get past Tikhomir Kapralov who steals the ball with a great challenge.Faustino Queirós must have been watching too much boring football lately, he's complaining to the ref about a perfectly legal tackle.
Min.73, Teuvo Johansson has got some magic feet and shows us all his trickery to get into a great position in the box, unfortunately for him, he's a complete donkey and tripped over his twinkle toes and face planted the ball, which proceeds to roll out harmlessly for a goal kick.
Min.76, Sampsa Fredrikson put a cross in towards John Kaijalainen at the front post, but Gennadiy Yatchenko came and made a superb punch out in a difficult position.
Min.80, It's clear to see that Kasper Huusko is in pain. He is looking towards the bench and it looks like his injury is serious, as a neutral spectator it's always sad to see someone with a serious injury, but then again, rather him than me.
Min.81, Oh dear, Kasper Huusko is down and shows no signs of recovering quickly, our touchline correspondent is suggesting its a problem with the Injured Meniscus . This small injury will not prevent him to finish the match within the field, but everything indicates that he is acting with more heart than head, his team will surely notice a small sharp decline and it may be definitive during the match.
Kasper Huusko is clearly showing signs of an injury here, yet he just doesnt want to go off. This is either extremely brave of him, or extremely stupid, only time will tell.
Min.82, Jasse Perovuo tries to play a 1-2 with Teuvo Johansson, but Spiridon Pugin's pressure pays off as he steals the ball and sets his team off on a counter attack...
Min.83, the clearance by the defence was intercepted by José de las Casas who tried to go past Kimmo Kangaskorpi but he failed miserably and loses possession.
Min.89, high kick of FC Törkymöykky after a wonderful forward pass through the defense by Kasper Huusko to Teuvo Johansson couldn't finish off that great move by FC Törkymöykky. Teuvo Johansson protested about the shirt pulling he was the victim of.
Min.90, The whistle has been blown, ending the game at 0-1.
The home team had 76 %. possession of the ball.
