Performancia Magnifica

Oct. 15, 2006, the brightest day in the history of Team AU. It was a sunday no different from other sundays. We had fixed a match against the Nepal undergraduate team of Assumption university. We left hua mak in the university van by around 4.00 pm with two new players on board. Bro Morris and Bro Jean. They filled the gap left by jovy and bas.

The match which was scheduled to start by 4.30 went on for a late start at 5.00. The kick off showed no signs of anything out of the ordinary. The first few minutes of the game went off aggresively when the nepal team scored their first goal in the 13 th minute which looked inevitable because we had a poorly organised defense. Within the next 15 minutes they scored another 3 goals to take the score line up to 4-0. Just before the end of the 35 minute long first half, Bro. jean fired a terrific long range shot which obviously rocketed into the post to make it 4-1. This goal improved are optimism.

The second half began with a bang when Bro. morris send another rocket right into the centre of the goal from way outside the D box which made the score 4 - 2. Here starts the turnaround when we reorganised our formation to strengthen our defense and at the same time deliver a threatening attack. Unexpectedly Nepal scored one more goal which took the score line 5 - 2 but we were still confident that we can fight back.

Soon after the 5th goal by Nepal, Winson came into the picture scoring another fantastic goal which the goal keeper had no chance of stopping. This took the scoreline to 5-3. Not later than 8 minutes, Ambrose managed to keep the ball with him after a great pass delivered by srikant which eventually resulted in our 4th goal. It started getting kind of dark by now when the clocks short needle passed the 6 hr mark but had enough light to go for another 15 minutes. Our team was still behind by 1 goal. Soon after the 4th goal, Dony sprouted into action scoring an acrobatic goal assisted by no one but himself. The score line was 5-5 by now. By now, we knew that a historical event was on the verge of happening. 2 minutes before final whistle, an assist from Sanjay, helped Ambrose score the winning goal with a cool strike past the helpless Nepalese goal keeper. 6 - 5.
