Last minute thriller

A must win for OG against PM else we are out of the goal on goal differences. OG started well and created the first chances of the game. Then a bit of drama when Remi going alone on a 1vs1 with the keeper was pull down by the last man. Lines man decided that the other guy on the other side of the pitch (20m away) was the last man... Yellow card. 5 min later, PM defender involuntary pass the ball back to Kike, that found himself in front of the goal. He passed the ball to Remi for an easy tap in. Lines man wanted once again to be the part of the fiesta and decided to raise his flag for offside... After a 5 min "discussion" Urs called it a goal as the pass was clearly coming from a PM defender (he was alone with nobody around him). Second half was once again quiet even. PM pushed and ultimately got the equalizer they were looking for with a ball through for their striker that manage to touch the ball just before Miki who was going out. 1-1. Nothing happen for the next 5min has everyone seemed to have cramped (including the goal keeper...)... Within 10min to go Kike manage to control the ball and do a lob shoot that hit the cross bar. Ouss had follow up and controlled the ball before been put down by one of the defender that was rushing back to goal. Penalty. Kike shoot it but saw his shoot denied by BOTH posts... (1 cross bar, 2 posts in 2min from Kike). Ultimately ball went out for corner. After 3min waiting for the goalkeeper to recover from a cramp we took it. Flying Unni managed to jumped over everyone and release a beautiful header. Goalkeeper did not even move probably due to his cramps. 2-1. The dying minute went a bit crazy. OG had a chance to make it 3-1 but ball was nicely stoped by a PM player's hand on the goal line but the counter attack could have been the killer move when Mark was release alone against our keeper. Miki did well to keep composure and manage to save the day. On the same counter attack, Kike scored the 3rd goal to seal the game. Well done to OG who slowly is building up and recovering from the Xmas period. Well done to PM for a very good game of football with everything you can expect from a cup game. Well done to Urs in the center of the park who did well
