Palace Casuals

[talisman]

With all the excitement of the Cup Finals over and dusted, just one more match left in the League season.

League Round 26 involved a trip to PMT FC of Da Nang, Vietnam, in 3rd place in the League and 9 points in arrears of Palace Casuals. In fitting with the 'end of term' feeling, all the remaining peripheral players got a final game in and several 'first teamers' were on the bench. PMT took advantage of the reduced quality of the team facing them and put three goals on the board in the first 15 minutes through Golan, Endler and Poznanski, but Casuals were not ones to be brushed aside lightly, as on 20 minutes, Ayman Gomaa fed a through ball to Captain-of-the-Day Johan Shaqiri and he coolly slotted it past the keeper to reduce the arrears. Just after the hour mark, Endler scored his second to increase the lead, and again the visitors came back ten minutes from time with a solo run and score from defensive midfielder Charles Salami. Final score was 4-2 to the hosts.
