CEYLON BAR STARTED BRIGHTLY WITH THE LEAGUE TOP SCORER SIMON SEATON LEADING THE THEIR ATTACK, JUST 5 MIN'S IN THE GAME SIMON MANAGE TO BEAT OFFSIDE TRAP GETTING INTO THE PENALTY BOX AND WAS HUSTLE DOWN BY MARCELO....PENALTY APPEAL BY THE CEYLON'S PLAYER NO NO SAYS THE MAN IN BLACK, FROM FAR IT LOOK LIKE A PENALTY BUT SOMETIMES YOU GET IT SOME TIMES YOU DON'T.... LUCKY HOOPERS DID NOT GIVE AWAY A SOFT PENALTY. CYLONE CONTINUE TO BUILD UP THIER MOMENTOM WITH SOME GOOD PASSING BUT WAS CUT OUT BY GOOD DEFENDING FROM MARCELO, THERE WAS ONE VERY GOOD PASSING FROM MARCELO TO LUIS WHO MADE A LONG PASS TO GRAHAM AND HE SLIP THE BALL TO ASKAN WHO BROKE FREE BEATING 1 DEFENDER AND WAS ABOUT TO SHOT FOR GOAL BUT WAS DENIED BY TOM HOWEL WHO HACKED ASKAN FROM THE SIDE SENDING HIM TUMBLING ON THE GROUND, PENALTY APPEAL FROM THE GRASSHOPPERS AND AGAIN THE REFFREE SAYS NO.
AS THE CONFIDENT GROW THE HOOPER'S NOW START PRESS ON FROM A COUNTER ATTACK FROM MARCELO WHO FOUND HOSSAIN WHO BEAT A DEFFENDER AND WAS FOUL, FREE KICK FOR MG'S, ASKAN STEP IN TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE THE PENALTY BOX IT HIT THE DEFFENCE WALL FOR A CORNER. ASKAN FLOATED A BEUTIFUL BALL JEROME RISES TO HEAD THE BALL IT HIT THE GOAL POST, JUAN WAS THERE FOR THE REBOUND BUT KICK AWAY ON THE LINE LUIS UNDA IT WAS REALLY UNLUCKY FOR JUAN NOT TO SCORE.

THE BREAKTHROUGH CAME BUT IT WAS FOR CYLONE BAR AS AKBORSH PLAY A NEAT BALL SLIPPING PASS THROUGH THE LEGS OF LIM TO MIKE HUSLER WHO SHOT PASS OUR NEW CAT (MANUEL) 1-O TO CYLONE BAR.



MG'S WERE STUNTED! LOOKS DISORGANISED PLAYERS WAS WALKING ON THE FIELD LOOK LIKE NOT INTERESTED TO PLAY MAYBE BE COS OF THE BLAZING SUN? THE HOOPER'S PRESS ON TO LOOK FOR THE EQUALISER BUT WITH NO REAL CHANCES...REFEREE BLOWS FOR HALF TIME. SECOND HALF SAW MG MAKE A FEW CHANGES WITH IRANIAN WIZARD ASKAN MOVED BACK TO HIS USUAL LEFT SIDE MIDFIELD, AFTER 5 MIN'S THE SWITCH PAID OF ASKAN BROKE FREE ON THE LEFT BUT WAS INTERCEPTED BY NIALL (CEYLON DEFENDER)FOR A CORNER . HOSSAIN TAKES IT HE SWUNG IN A POWER SHOT ASKAN WAS THERE TO HEAD THE BALL AND DEFLECTED TO ONE OF THE CEYLON PLAYER AND INTO TO THE ROOF OF THE NET GOALLLLLL 1-1. NOW THAT THE SCORE WAS LEVEL THE HOOPER'S WERE IN CONTROL WITH ASKAN, HOSSAIN, JUAN AND LUIS IS CONTROLLING THE GAME. FROM A LUIS TROUGH BALL FOUND HOSSAIN IN THE PENALTY BOX HE TURN AND SHOT THE BALL HIT CEYLON'S BAR DEFENDER HAND WITH NO CHOICE THE REFEREE POINTED FOR A PENALTY. HOSSAIN COOLLY SENT ADRIAN TO WRONG DIRECTION TO GIVE MG A 2-1 LEAD. NOW THE LEAGUE LEADERS WERE TRAILING BEHIND THEY MAKE A FEW SUBSTITUTION TO LOOK FOR AN EQUALISER, THE MATCH BECAME TOO PHYSICAL THE MAN IN BLACK HAVE NO CHOICE TO FLASH YELLOW CARDS TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE MATCH. WITH MINUTES TO GO CEYLON BAR WON THE BALL FROM GRAHAM WHO ONLY NEEDS TO HOLDS ON TO THE BALL, HUSLER MAKE THE MOVE PASS THE BALL TO THE LEFT SIDE FOUND STEPHEN PANG WHO MAKE A ONE TWO WITH NIALL AND CROSS THE BALL TO THE CENTRE.......
