League Round 10, home vs Annisa FC of Jakarta, Indonesia. Level 1, AQ +0.8
With a clearout of five of the older and lower quality players and three new signings on show, Palace Terriers attempted to up their team to match an influx of new team managers to the League who were similarly upgrading their new charges. Annisa FC were one of those teams, having upgraded from AQ 13.8 to 16.1, Terriers were in danger of being outclassed with their original AQ 13.7. With two new goalkeepers, 5*/21 Adriano Mateus and 4*/16 Shahrul Kintan, and a left-winger in 5*/20 Nathan Masegela, Terriers now rated AQ 15.3 and looked forward to this home game in better shape.
The match overall was a tightly fought deadlock, broken only occasionally by individual pieces of brilliance. Left-back Gorrono sped down the left wing, cut in and slotted the ball past the 'keeper for a great solo opening goal in the first half, and the visitors eventually wore the home defence down 12 minutes from time, when Umtiti made a similar run but passed at the last minute to Ake who stroked the ball past Mateus to equalise. With this draw and other results not going their way, Terriers drop to 5th in the table.
