In the "Best moments of our sports" rubric right now we will show biggest Trolleborg team since 3D-TV entered our life.
This is victory over Kencana in the group stage of 5th Melayu Cup. In this game our team rehabilitated for the defeat in the first game. Let's see again this fascinating moments:
Our players tried to immediately decide the outcome of the match, rushing forward and probing defence by all means. We must say, that crosses from flanks showed themselves the best way.
After 6 minutes into the game, Kolding's cross into the crowd in the center of the box was interrupted by Zahir Falih, who hit the ball to the center of the field, but as it turned out, Troll was just waiting for such opportunity. He had more than enough time to put the ball more comfortable and deliver a terrible shot, right to the top corner. The goalkeeper was simply powerless.
Almost immediately Gulbranden, with his size, somehow eluded the defenders in the goalkeeper's area after the corner and shot past the goalkeeper, it seemed, for sure. But Lukman Demang selflessly threw himself under the ball and knocked him out of the empty net and in the ensuing melee defenders throw ball out.
But after a few minutes the forward was nevertheless able to celebrate the goal - the same Kolding made a pass from the flank and our striker, again getting rid of the defenders, calmly make a perfect header.
Having conceded two goals by the 20th minute, the opponents did not stop playing, moved the game to the center of the field, twice threatened Gould's goal after passes from flanks, and got their way. Our players in the center of the pitch hesitated trying to create an offside, but in the end Bachok Omar made an accurate pass to his teammate by “Kota Damai” Merdeka Ali, who went one-on-one with the goalkeeper and scored the goal. Our failure in defense was so obvious that Trolleborg players did not even try to convince the referee that there was an offside.
Instead, they redoubled their efforts and almost immediately Gulbranden made a double, again responding to Kolding's pass.
In the second half, Finnsnes scored a free-kick, beautifully catching the goalkeeper whilst he is moving in the opposite direction.
Kerr, who remained the whole game in the shadow of his comrades-in-arms, summed up the match at the 67th minute. Troll, faced with an impassable wall of defenders near the box, rolled the ball into the penalty area of Finnsnes, who, after a spurt, made a cross along the goal line and our striker, who got rid of the attention of defenders and was in the right place at the right moment, had only to put his foot to score, which he did perfectly.
No more goals were scored in this match, although both sides can change score not once. But the game is over with the 5:1 result, one of the biggest victories for our team in history. We congratulate all the fans on the victory, although one should not get euphoric for too long.
