A valiant but ultimately vain attempt by g7 to emulate yesterday's historic win was thwarted by a gritty comeback by th eteachers. After an opening period where Lorenzo and Jacopo tormented the Teachers' defence, the teachers turned the tables in the second half. The first goal of the game was scored by Lorenzo and he almost made it 2-0 but Mr H made a fantastic clearance off the line. Mr Martin then made a match-winning save, tipping a strong Jacopo shot onto the crossbar. Lorenzo did score again before half time though, combining well with Jacopo to score at the far post.
Early in the second half, Christian made a miraculous save but, from the resulting throw-in, Mr Francesco bundled the ball over the line with some unidentifiable part of his body to make it 2-1. Now on a roll, the teachers continued to attack and, when the ball broke to Mr Chad, he used all of his considerable experience to find a route to goal: 2-2!
Grade 7, stung by this equaliser, threw themselves into attack again. Max found Madison, Madison found Antoine, Antoine found the net: 3-2! But the teachers came right back at them and equalised again through Mr Basketball to set up a nailbiting finish! Soon after, each side could have scored to win: Carlo for g7 and Miss A for the teachers each spurned good chances and then Mr Basketball was tripped up on the edge of the area. Mr Francesco stepped up to take it. He studied the kick carefully, addressed the ball as if attempting to curl it into the opposite top corner and then slyly rolled it into the near post bottom-corner instead to capture a sweet victory for the teachers!
