Palace Terriers

[talisman]

League Round 23, away at Annisa FC in Jakarta, Indonesia. Level 1, AQ -1.6
Having seen off the League leaders in their previous match, Palace Terriers travelled to Indonesia again for this third-in-a-row match against 'I-6' opposition. Confidence was obviously high as the first attack produced a foul, a booking for the opposition player and a free-kick, which was deflected for a corner by the defensive wall. Xabier Moran swung over the corner, and Nathan Masegela continued from where he left off yesterday and nodded it into the net. By the 13th minute, Terriers were three up, right-back Aad Roemgens ran down the right-wing and crossed for Moran to fire home, and 'Shoot-on-Sight' drove another pile driver past the home 'keeper for his second of the match. At the start of the second half, and Masegela chanced from range again, and the 'keeper saved magnificently for another corner. Masegela took the set-piece himself, and Moran was available for the headed goal. Into the last quarter-hour of the match, and at last a recognised striker got onto the score sheet as Ben Atkins followed his left winger in shooting from distance, but this time a defender got in the way and a corner resulted. Moran was the kicker this time, and Atkins leapt up and headed the ball home for the fifth and final goal. Palace Terriers move up to third, pending a late match result.
