Match commentary:
Tragic loss for Aros, as their losing streak continues!
Aros had come to this first ever home match with high hopes, especially
after the
close game in Draconia, in which they narrowly lost 1-2. With
the home field
advantage, they could smell their first victory today, but, alas, things
sadly
would turn out much different.
First off, Draconia was on their best today. They alleviated any
doubts as to the
caliber of team they are, and silenced their numerous critics who said
that they
could never win off their own home soil... well, they sure did today.
Aros did
not seem to have a good day, on the other hand, and it turned even
worse when
Manucchi was given the red card after a admittedly rough foul on Mirren
, from
behind, and that only in the 14th minute! So Aros had to play
almost the entire
game with 10 players, one short! Perhaps the hosts were also
a little tired from
their very long training programme, which may have been a little too
much, and too
draining before the game.
Whatever the reason, Draconia, one man up, had a relatively dominant
second half,
with flashes of brilliance from Aros, who ultimately suffered from
the numerical
and technical superiority of the Pirates, though. Reversi had
a career match,
scoring an incredible hattrick, making an indelible mark for himself
on the
international soccer scene. Rumors are that a major Westrian
club side is
currently trying to pry him away from Draconia to play in the lucrative
WSL next
season!
So the bad streak continues for Aros, which had begun back as Libra,
this team has
never won or even drawn a game. But they will keep trying.
The potential is
definitely there. Draconia, on the other hand, is becoming a
major force. It
would be interesting to see how they can fare against some of the top-ranked
established teams.
