As
we entered the fifth round of games each match
was becoming progressively more important. Games
were running out and points were becoming increasingly
valuable.
This
was especially true for FC C(h)ampagne who had
played well today but only had two points and
sixth place to show for their efforts so far.
They were without a win but did have 2 draws from
their 3 games. They were now up against PFC who
were unbeaten in 4 matches with 10 points from
a possible 12. PFC could extend their lead at
the top to 7 points with a win here and all but
guarantee Cup qualification.
The
formbook suggested this was a Brazilian triumph
but the Swiss team proved the formbook wrong with
one of the standout results of the whole tournament.
Teo Borne opened the scoring for FC C(h)ampagne
before they had to settle for a period of defending.
They then put the game to bed when Alex Forbes
dispossessed the Brazilian goalkeeper just outside
his area and duly converted the resulting chance
to make it 2-0.
A
late Gerson Teixeira goal made an uncomfortable
end to the game but FC C(h)ampagne had enough
in the tank to see out the game and claim a famous
victory. Group B was wide open. |
