ANOTHER WIN FOR GIBANY'S CLINCH
With a hattrick, Gibany cliches as the best team in he first stage.
Gibany’s last game was a rest for the starting XI squad, as head coach Hazim Ferhatović lined-up almost the entire reserve squad. To preserve experience and secure the game, Ferhatović strategically left Kenan Hadžić, Vedad Bajrić, and Matija Mauzer ahead of their respective sectors. For instance, Vedad Bajrić was promoted captain for the night due to his constant high-level performances, keeping the defensive composure and scoring goals at the same time.
The game per se was not a big challenge for the co-hosts. By the end of the first half, the game was already 1-0 with a goal by Bahrudin Čejvan. Walking away from the first half into the half time, Čejvan conceded a quick interview saying: “It’s always good to play for this team, you know? After a few seasons not being called I finally feel like my work is being compensated. Scoring this goal makes me happy, but also helps our team and we will come back to try to increase the lead and leave today with 3 points under our belt.”
Indeed, Gibany returned with a bigger thirst for goals on the feet of the youngster Dinamo Drošnja attacker, Hrvoje Ivošević. He previously scored in the Gibish trashing victory over Senria by 6-0, but as a sub. He was given a chance as a starter now against Mathrabumi and left a bad impression during the first half; he could not complete plays and, in certain times, was isolated from the rest of the attack, with very little movement. However, Ivošević came back to the second half completely different. It was less than 20 minutes into the second half when the young forward had scored two goals to put Gibany ahead 3-0. On the 81’ he scored a hattrick after converting a penalty kick. Hrvoje Ivošević became the first player under 25 years old to ever score a hattrick in Gibany’s history.
By the end of the game, he said, “It’s unbelievable, you know? I come from such humble neighborhood in Drosy and I never really got to practice with fancy equipment or whatever. It was just me and my friends out in the street having fun and now I’m here and I could score those goals. It’s amazing and I’m happy with our team and we have been winning and we will keep trying hard to give our fans something special in Drosy in a few days.”
Gibany now plays against Ordennya, who qualified second in the group 7 with four points. To analyze Gibany’s opponent a bit further, Ordennya’s moment is a little unstable. They managed to hold up against the exceptional Gaullican team, and surprised fans with an astonishing 5-0 victory over Yoc, until they lost their last match to already eliminated Rwizikuru by 3-0.
Manager Hazim Ferhatović, when questioned about Gibany’s view over their next opponent, said: “It’s football. Everything happens inside the field, so there is no favorite for this game. If they qualified for this stage, it means that they had the guts and skill to come this far. We will keep working and we will play against them like we would play against any other team: seeking victory, but always respecting the opponent.”
