HARBOR HILL, Handon, Schottia — First half strikes by Jabin Schumacher and Joseph Mahlon helped New Edom to beat Wielkilas 4-2 on Sunday and win its first four goals in a Cornellian Cup match.
New Edom led 3-0 at halftime, but withstood a stronger Wielkilasian second half performance to claim its first Cornellian Cup runner up since 1972 and move into second place in Group B with one match left to play.
Jabin Schumacher, one of three New Edom wingers who didn’t start in the previous match, , broke the deadlock in the 26th minute with a fine solo goal, running onto a through ball between two defenders and then touching it past Pawel Kasparek.
New Edom added a third goal in the 38th when Joseph Mahlon side-footed home from close to the penalty spot after Schumacher pulled the ball back for him.
Wielkilas didn’t manage a shot on target all half, and struggled to break down New Edom’s attacks.
However, it was far more positive after the break and pulled a goal back in the 48th minute when Libéral Bruant shot through the legs of Jasper Chilion, ending his streak.
Hopes of a remarkable comeback were soon extinguished, though, when swift passing by Mordecai Tuller put Daniel Cleopas through on a counter attack to make it 4-1.
Wielkilas striker Zladislaw bundled the ball home on 72 minutes from close range, but New Edom’s defence held on to secure a historic victory.
“Woo hoo! We won, awwwww yeah!” screamed Mara, jumping up and down and clapping. “Wow, did you see that? Oh my gosh, I love these guys! Yay!”
Count Lalery certainly liked watching Mara jumping around and clapping, it was lovely to see her hair floating around, her excited face, bouncing bosom and wriggling hips.
“You know what, I totally feel bad for Izolda though, but her team did really good. Oh my gosh, I’m so excited I’m gonna hurl or something. Hey we should totally go get something to eat now, and look Izolda and Fleur up, I just can NOT sit still, I’m not even joking right now....”
