We have won our first round cup match in the Hong Kong Football for Life Hong Kong CUP against team TWF with 4-1 and proceed to the next round.
The match set up was great, we played on our home turf Futian Stadium with its vast dimensions. Weather was top, the referee and two linesman very professional. Thanks to team TWF travelling all the way from Hk to play us here in our "home town" and we hope they had a good day as well despite their result.
The first half we started a little nerveous but soon could score a goal by striker Marco which put the pressure early on TWF to respond. But TWF prooved at first half to be a bit tootheless despite our own defense line being a bit shaky and could not utilize on any weaknesses in Inter SZ’s defense. And soon Jerome pounded another 2 goals with his hammer left feet and we went into half time 3-0 up.
We made some changes in the team roster and started even more nerveous than in the first half. Credit to TWF, they pushed in the beginning minutes of the second half very hard and earned their well deserved goal. But after another 15 minutes it was all business as usual again after TWF easing the pressure and with Inter regaining control in defense and midfield. Tansel had a very rare penalty miss for Inter Shenzhen and soon after Vasken scored the last goal of the match with a long range shoot overlopping the TWF goallie.
Overall it was not a very technically or tactically versatile performance, neither by Inter Shenzhen nor by TWF who seemd not to match physically the Inter players. Many missed passes and a generally poor technically display by both teams. Inter had the better part of individual display and this was the reason for the deserved win.
We will now play against team YINWU on February 12th 2012 at the FUTIAN Stadium here in Shenzhen again for the next round QUARTER FINALS!! (http://www.footballforlife.hk/index_topic.phpdid=206769&didpath=/206769).
Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year and see you all next year around!
looks good, great job guys
