Last Sunday our main team played its next match in the championship. And the opponent was the leader of the tournament, club Nieuw West United. This team is made up of Moroccan players. The victory in the away match brought us three points and the distance from the leader to one point, although they have a game in hand. But the hosts, too, were not going to lose points. The game turned out to be fighting in all senses. And would be in the category of the best matches, if not the referee of the match, which was done all for the hosts.
Before the beginning of the match we had problems with the composition. Three main players could not take part in the match. Ze Carlos went to Brazil till February, Stas Skibitsky injured his back during the week. Michiel Stolwijk for personal reasons could not take part in the match. Also Dennis Schon is injured yet. As a result, the following players entered to the starting lineup. Goalkeeper Mohamed Zgaula. Deffenders - Robert Gurjan, Vlad Graur, Roman Todello and Vitaliy Holets. Middfielders Osie Banahene, Aurimas Sulnys, Valentin Schwerdtfeger, Juho Koistinen and Charles Moses. And one forward Gocha Sipki. On the replacement were Ruslan Ismailov, Kofi Amoako, Narek Avdalyan, Adem Bekdas and Evgeniy Zaicev.
The match began very harshly. The home team played very dirty and without respect for the opponent. It was clear that the game would be difficult. The first moments are created by the hosts. In 5 minutes, the hosts could score twice. First they broke into the crossbar after a corner and then only the reaction of our goalkeeper saved us from a quick goal. After that, we begin to create our own moments. At the 10th minute Aurimas Sulnis enters the penalty area of the opponent and is knocked down, everyone thinks a penalty, but the referee is of a different opinion. A few minutes later, Sipki has a good chance, which does not give the pass to Sulnys, but shoot above the goalkeeper. A few minutes later, Sipki himself enters the penalty area and again the defenders shoot him down. Well, a clean penalty. But the referee points to the corner. The next moment does not use Koistinen, who from a good position shoot above the gate. We attack and create moments and in the 36th minute after the transfer from the left flank of Koystinen, Gocha Sipki make result 0:1. A few minutes later the ball falls into the hand of one of the defenders in the penalty area. The referee whistle is silent. Unbelievable from the three penalties, at least one could be, but in the plans of the referee this was not included. Until the end of the first half, both teams created a few more moments, but they were not entirely dangerous. We leave for a break with a score of 0: 1 in our favor.
The second half begins without any substitutions. Our opponent began to play even harder and we took the same measures. In one episode, it almost came to a fight. The referee decided to give a yellow card to the players of both teams and send for 10 minutes outside the field. In our team it was Gocha Sipki. But three minutes later the referee changed his mind and let the players to come on the field. And in the 55th minute the hosts are making 1:1. The attack began with a referee's mistake. The ball came out of the side line for just half a meter, the referee did not give a whistle and the hosts continued their attack. The goal was scored from 25 meters overthrew goalkeeper. At the 60th minute we have a replacement. The field was left by Valentin Schwerdfeger and Kofi Amoako came on the field instead. A few minutes later, the defender of the hosts beats Gocha Sipki in the back and Gocha falls badly on his back. A clean red card. And the referee did not even give a yellow one. Further, Sipki can not continue to play and Narek Avdalyan enters to the field. We create a few more moments. A good header by Aurimas Sulnys, but the ball flies above the gate. Koistinen has two chances. The first after the shooting Avdalyan, blow Koistinen blocks the defender. And in the second moment Koistinen does not hit the ball from 7 meters, where no one bothered him. The hosts also had good moments, but in three moments our goalkeeper played very confidently. And in the 75th minute the referee gives a whistle and this whistle is not due to a violation but a whistle on the end of the match. We have to play 15 more minutes. Everyone begins to argue with him, but the referee does not change his mind. As a result, the second half was only 30 minutes played and fixed the draw 1: 1.
Our guys played a very good game and were worthy to take three points, but biased referee breaks and spoils this beautiful sport. And the most interesting is that the referee in our home games always judge correctly and sometimes even against us. Even it happened that our referee appointed two penalties in a match against us. Who was at these matches remember who is talking about. Everyone likes to play football and everyone wants to win, so do it with dignity and not with the help of a referee. Otherwise, it will simply be disgusting to continue playing football ...
