Match 15 Semi final

Nicaragua 0 Tanzania 3

Now it’s time for the semi finals of the main event. The team with the 100% record, Nicaragua, take on the solid all round team, Tanzania.

Fierce shots by Tanzania early on but to no avail. It’s anyone’s game as both teams are scrapping for possession. Shots from both teams are kept out of the nets by solid performances for the goalies.

Tanzania seem to just have the attacking edge and Nicaragua are hurling themselves into challenges, keeping the score at 0-0.

A fantastic goal by Tanzania early in the second half. The ball breaks on edge of box the striker beats his man and drills it in bottom corner. Tanzania look like a different team all of a sudden, full of confidence and looking very hungry in attack. It’s difficult to see where a goal might come from for the Central Americans.

A contender for goal of the tournament puts Tanzania 2-0 in front. The young African steams through and blasts into the near top corner.

Tanzania put away another 6 mins from time which makes them comfortable 3-0 winners in the end. Based on the Tanzanians second half performance they are worthy finalists indeed, full of passing vision, individual skill and team spirit.
