Wilhelmus
and El A Dees were two of the other teams on
4 points hoping to capitalize upon the above
draw with a victory that would see them take
the outright lead in Group A. Wilhelmus had
just taken their first 3 points with a fine
win over CEPL and if they could keep this form
up they would top the table. El A Dees had started
well with a win but followed this up with a
draw and then a defeat. They needed to turn
their sliding form around and return to winning
ways – now would be the perfect time to do it.
The
game was following a similar pattern to the
Room 20 versus Pimp My Side game and we reached
half-time all square at 0-0. If things stayed
this way we would have four teams still level
at the top of the table with just a game to
go.
The
game didn't stay 0-0 in the second half as we
saw goals but ultimately we were back to square
one as the goals were shared and we finished
1-1. It was Michael Sanderson for Wilhelmus
who had scored his fifth goal of the game and
was an early contender for the tournament top
goalscorer award. It was Gaz Lawrence's second
goal of the tournament that found the target
for El A Dees.
So,
both teams would go into their last game needing
a result to secure their fate in this tournament.
