Rannoria has done it! After an easy victory against Illahee at the Natunolstadion, Rannoria was able to take second place in Group I, and make it to the Round of 32. The 4-2 victory for Rannoria was an easy match for the Iron Swordsmen, as the game could've been considered over in the first half. With Susanto Kader scoring two consecutive goals in the 3rd and 21st minute, and Karsten Sawar scoring a third in the 33rd minute, the game was already 3-0 at half-time. Although Illahee was able to make an impressive comeback in the second half, scoring two goals in a matter of five minutes after the game continued, Rannoria was able to finish off the game well in the 76th minute, where Takar Pak was able to score a free kick. From there, no more goals were scored, and so the game ended at that.
Although this was a happy victory for Rannoria, one player wasn't able to enjoy it with the rest of his team on the pitch. Centre-midfield Susi'anak Gontayy was still recovering from his injury from the match against Tarper, and so he was excluded from the starting 11 and the bench, and had to watch from the sidelines. Of course, though, after the victory, he was allowed to go on pitch to celebrate with his teammates. Unfortunately for him, he will also have to sit out on the game against Rannoria's Round of 32 match. After this, though, he will be in playing condition, and hopes are high that he will be able to deliver well on the pitch when he fully recovers.
Finally, a preview for Rannoria's Round of 32 match. Against Rannoria, there is the nation of Carloso blocking the path to victory. Lead by captain Ignacio Muraga, this will prove not be an easy match, though. So far, Carloso has not lost a single match yet, and thus has come out on top of Group J. Not only that, but their last match's victory was even more brutal than the Rannoria-Illahee match, being a 5-2 victory against Carloso's opponent, Yanghoon. Both fans and players alike have commented on interviews that they are nervous for the match, and that it might end there at Lindersson Arena, but everyone is hoping and pressing for a victory. Carloso, also known as Los Tricolores or the Tricolors, will prove to be Rannoria's most aggressive opponent tournament yet, as they have been seen to play even more on the offence than the Rannorians.
