Cameroon 3-2 Romania

 Cameroon set a new record today for the number of goals disallowed in a single IM match... four! Despite this, they still managed to beat a Romania team that now faces a SF with the worst possible preparation. Can captain Rex pull his team together in time? We shall see....

Anyway: Lorenzo G kicked off today's action with an early goal that helps to seal his commanding position at the top of the goal-scoring charts. Giulio R thought he had equalised for Cameroon but Referee Corcoran disallowed the goal as Giulio had removed his green shirt before receiving the ball. Diego did equalise immediately afterwards but Cameroon then had a second goal disallowed: after Cristian had finished off Gabriele's assist, it transpired that Cameroon had an extra player on the pitch: no goal! Again however, Diego stepped up immediately afterwards to score and now Cameroon were 2-1 ahead at the break. At the beginning of the second half, Cameroon struck the crossbar to remind Romania that they were in for a torrid 15'. Then, two more disallowed goals for Cameroon! First, Giulio rifled home a shot from the edge of the penalty area but not before he had screamed 'lascia!'. Second, a foul on the goalkeeper was spotted by the referee. But again, Cameroon did score a valid goal. Giulio R's shot was well saved but Gabriele followed up to bundle the ball over the line. The ever-vigilant and ever-dangerous LG was on hand to steal a second goal near the end but the three points went to Cameroon.

BEST PLAYER POINTS: Giulio R 4, Gabriele 3, Diego 3, Lorenzo G 3, Piervalerio 2, Rex 2, Cristian 2, Lupo 2
