The
second Quarter-Final saw AC Lesk take on Saipan
FC. AC Lesk were so far without a win but they
had picked up two draws including a 3-3 draw with
the team that finished third and had just won
their Quarter-Final above, It's Back. Now would
be the perfect time for them to claim a first
victory.
Saipan
FC had mixed results thus far with two wins and
three defeats albeit in a tough group. This would
be an interesting clash to see who would make
it through to the Semi-Final stage.
Goals
were conspicuous by their absence though as the
teams arrived at half-time and then at full-time
still all square at 0-0. With the final result
a draw we went into Golden Goal extra time and
if we still failed to see a goal we would go down
to penalties.
Could
either team step up and give it one final push
to grab the goal that would see them qualify for
the next stage. Indeed one team would manage to
find the breakthrough and cometh the hour, cometh
the man – that man was Tom Bird of Saipan FC.
The Irish were now just one game away from a European
final.
It
was a tough way for AC Lesk to go out as in the
end too many draws ultimately cost them. They
are a young squad so plenty of time left for them
to claim some eurofootballfives.com glory.
