After the resumption of the game, our team seized the initiative, began to play the ball more and threaten the home team's goal more often.At the beginning of the second half, Axel had an excellent opportunity to score. He expertly received the ball in the opponent's penalty area, turned and fired powerfully at goal from close range. But the ball treacherously flew several centimeters over the crossbar. However, in the 68th minute of the game, Hussein corrected this situation and with a long-range strike brought our team ahead in this game. Losing 2:0, we not only equalized the match but also took the lead. Of course, this would not suit our opponents and they ran forward. Our team’s defenders defended well and tactically competently, but 7 minutes before the end of regular time the home team managed to equalize the game. Both teams faced a penalty shootout. Our goalkeeper Eddy confidently repelled the first shot and Hussein scored his goal, but after that luck turned away from our guys. We lacked composure a little, but our opponent took advantage of this chance. As a result, the home team won the penalty shootout 4:2. This evening we lacked a little luck and maybe some experience in cup games. But still, we received a positive charge from this game and wish our opponent victories in the next rounds of the cup.
