There
were many games that were contenders for goal
of the tournament in the 2010 Krakow Cup…and the
game between FCB Helles and Over Crusaders II
was certainly one of them! Over Crusaders II went
into the game in 2nd place knowing that a win
would assure them of qualification for the Cup
and all was going to plan thanks to Liam White's
first half goal.
All
was going to plan until a crazy last couple of
minutes that saw this game turn on it's head.
It began when Ben Littlefield took a pot-shot
from distance and with Steve Keerie's view obstructed
in the Over Crusaders II goal a late reaction
meant the shot crept inside the far post and FCB
Dunkles were level at 1-1. The draw would see
FCB Helles move onto 8 points and sit just outside
the Cup qualification places. However, we were
not done there. In the final minute Ed Hamand
made a run down the right wing and hit a cross-come-shot
from the byline across goal and the unfortunate
Liam White could not help but turn the ball into
his own net a matter of inches from the goal-line.
The FC Biermeisters understandably went crackers.
It
was a dramatic end to the game and cruel on Over
Crusaders II who with two minutes to go were cruising
into the Cup but now they sat in 4th with a game
against league leaders Azmot to come. FCB Helles
were in 2nd with their fate very much in their
own hands.
