By John Kabu
The lsabel Frigate U14 could not snatch a spot in the semi-finals after a penalty shootout this morning against the Henderson Eels.
The game kicked off at the DC park regardless of the drizzle and wet ground. That does not hinder the game as both teams equally contested the spot in the semis.
Isabel Frigate with the usual orange coloured uniform dominated the first half of the game. A chance for goal should have sent the frigate to the semi final, as they missed two great opportunities.
Isabel no 9 jessy missed the first opportunity on the first half. He would have slotted the ball in as he had the goal keeper to beat unfortunately the ball tangled on his foot.
The boys in yellow had their share in the second half as they pressured lsabel frigate at their goalmouth.
It was a tough and equally contested match that could have ended either way.
Both sides created a series of scoring chances but were denied by their respective custodians, defenders or wasted as a result of the wet turf and of careless finishing.
After the full time, the two teams had goal less draw.
This was again another penalty shotout game decider for the frigate.
A successful spot kick from no.2 jessy of Eels punished lsabel captain Tony for missing the penalty shot for his team. Keeping the Eels dream of winning the spot for the semi final alive.
“We knew we had this in us, this team (Eels) had a lot of good confidence players and we done a really good job of blocking out this very determined side”, Isabel frigate coach Steve Kole said after the game.
Henderson Eels coach said he was happy with the result adding his boys played well.”I thanked the boys for their hardworking and for winning the game.”
Isabel Frigate hopes of progressing on for the semi final spot was now dismantled after a horrendous penalty decider.
The game ended with 3 goals to 2 in favor of Henderson Eels.
