Palace Casuals

[talisman]

League Round 17, home vs Lilly Whites, of Wigan, England. Level 23, AQ +0.5
Palace Casuals went into this game looking for revenge for the earlier heavy defeat inflicted by Lilly Whites, and to a certain extent, they succeeded. Anurak Arma opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a fine solo goal, and Omar Hansen increased the lead three minutes before the half-time. Immediately after the break, Hansen added a third goal with a 30 yard screamer, and Casuals were well on top. As the second-half went on, however, the visitors gradually came back into the game, and goals by Mascherano and Born left the home side successfully hanging onto a slender lead for the last four minutes. Goalkeeper Zoltan Bieder suffered a Hamstring injury and is battling to be fit for tomorrow's game.
