League Match #16: we play Tottenham on their pitch. They're currently in 11th place, only 1 point behind us, and are 5-4 favourites to win this game. They have many injuries on their roster and a centreback who's banned for this game.
Freddy Guarín is banned for this game and we go back to our usual 4-1-2-1-2 formation.
Martin Rowlands starts for
Damiano Zenoni.
Generoso Rossi is in the nets.
And
Rossi plays sloppily early on as he mishandles a ball in the 13th minute, letting it go in. Down 0-1.
Their keeper also goofs up only 3 minutes later as he misses a kick away.
Cristiano Lucarelli is the only one near and he gets the ball, goes around the keeper to score in an empty net. Tie 1-1.
The half ends with a tied score of 1-1. They're outshooting us 7(5) to 5(2). Rossi is only rated at 6 for now...
GRRRR! They get a free kick on the edge of the area in the 69th minute. The kick is deflected by the wall and
Rossi can't do a thing. Down 1-2.
Final Score: Q.P.R. 1, Tottenham 2
They outshot us 14(9) to 9(5).
Rossi got back to his feet and ended the game with the
Man of the Match selection and a rating of 9. It's a frustrating loss in the sense that we stayed pace for pace with them. We belong with these guys, not a feeling I had earlier this season in 1-2 losses like this one...
Tottenham move past us to 7th place and we drop to 8th.
