Polonia 2- Croatia 4
Pretty dissapointing result today down at Beaconsfield for Polonia. Croatia went up 1-0 on a very nice goal about ten minutes into the game off a cross and it looked like it was going to be a long game. We responded on a freekick about five minutes later and eventually went up on a PK about ten minutes after that.
The second half started off very poorly when one of our guys was sent off for a second yellow after a foul on Johny Sulentic who did very well to embelish it. Croatia then got a penalty call when Johny Sulentic was mauled in the area ****in pansie. The pansie burried the spotter. After that we tried to hold them off but the disadvantage in numbers killed us. They scored the winner of a very nice header and added one late on the counter attack.
If our guy had not been sent off it would have been a much different game and we very likely could have been on the winning side. Croatia is a very good team with great individual skill but their not too solid at the back and did not really have any great scoring chances when both teams were at 11 apiece. They did really well to get the ball into our half of the field , had most of the possession but couldnt do anything in the last 25 until our guy was off.
Good luck to them in the next round.
