Match 16 (semi final 2)

U.K. 1 India 3

The U.K.’s skilful winger is starting between the sticks once again. India have a few players of real quality including perhaps the tournaments most prolific goal scorer up front. Team U.K. also sporting quality but by far the most physical team maybe too strong for the Indian opposition.

It looks like a good game as we kick off. It’s end to end and being played at quite a pace.

India take the lead! Out of nowhere a beautiful ball is whipped into the box and nodded home by that striker. One of the U.K. midfielders picks the ball up on the halfway line and sends a stinging shot towards goal and tipped wide. The score is level as the resulting corner is fired straight at the keeper who palms into his own net.

It’s heating up, the frustration of the U.K. is beginning to show. India go 2-1 in front thanks to a volley that’s too strong for the keepers hands. The U.K. go down to six men yet again for a cynical tackle. India play a wise but frustrating game as they seek to wind down the clock and wind up the opposition.

India score once more and the fate of the U.K. is surely sealed as only 2 minutes remain on the clock.

The whistle sounds and we look forward to an India Tanzania final.
