It was a quite a match in Hyde Park on Saturday as we welcomed back our legendary goalkeeper Tony.
The match in regular time was a draw (3-3), and with the golden goal the win went to the Colours. Both teams played fairly well even without their celebrated player Giancarlo.
The goals for Oranges were by Oliviero, Jonathan and Murteza. Davide made an incredible assist for Oliviero’s volley. Al made 2 top assists. For the Colours, Al, Nizar and Daoud scored along with Ram’s own goal.
The Colours team left a lot of space on the field for the Oranges, allowing them to play such good football with pass by pass and tap in the box. There happened to be a situation where there was a throw in that went down as a goal but according to the referee (which was also us) the goal had to be disallowed.
Along with this match we had a group of people walking past and cheering on how impressive the teams were playing, especially with all these opportunities that the Colours had to score at least two more goals.
Accompanied by his master Giancarlo, Leone was desperate to play. He clearly loves coming to Hyde Park to watch Football Dads, even if he will probably never be a Football Dad one day.
There were situations where there were so many people in the box for the Oranges that, creating chaos and colliding with each other as it often happens when Arsenal plays.
Davide missed several opportunities that could have changed the sort of the game, but the Colours’ defence, led by Hossam, was simply impenetrable. Among the rotating goalkeepers, both Arman and Davide made top saves.
Morteza didn’t make his third Golden Goal in a row. This time it was Hossam to score it with an incredible finish, capping with it an extraordinary performance well worth of the MOTM award.
