Forbidden City FC 紫禁城足球俱乐部

Watch as City ran riot against the Barbarians. The 6-0 victory keeps us top of the league.

Match report:

Pretty much the same game as last week.

MOM: Jochen / Aaron (great game and goals)

DOM: Philippe (slips in first half)

Goal summary:

15 min – Jochen Tenhagen
A well delivered cross from Ivan Lakatos was converted by Jochen Tenhagen. A great finish with the right foot from 10 yards out.

20 min – Aaron Re’em
Converted from outside the area with a right footed finish, it was a well-finished individual goal which Aaron Re’em wont forget! The move started with some clever play from Alex Henderson.

32 min – Andy Williams
A brilliant team goal, finished off by Andy Williams with a right footed conversion from long range, following a Ivan Lakatos pass.

41 min – Ivan Lakatos
Jochen Tenhagen supplied the through-ball, and Ivan Lakatos found the net from just inside the box with a clinical right footed effort.

65 min – Philippe Healey
Rafa Peinado supplied the cross from a freekick, and Philippe Healey found the net from six yards out with a clinical headed goal.

75 min – Blythe Fitzwiliam
Aaron Re’em supplied the through-ball, and Blythe Fitzwiliam found the net from six yards out with a tremendous left footed effort.

First game in 2010 beating Russia 6-0.

See when Adam’s hard work on the right helped him claim yet another assist. His beautiful cross was only slightly deflected by all four Russians defenders and a Chuar stand in Sanlitun, before it fell to Will who finished with class.

And it was cold that day…

Palace,

February 28, 2010 – Russia 0:6 FCFC

Citizens!

The bells of the Kolner Dom are Ringing, The prodigal son has returned, Jochen Tenhagen has scored.

Many had come to doubt whether he would ever cross the halfway line again, but the Mustachioless German silenced his doubters today with an 11th minute “Kracker Shlaffer” from 25 yards out. After stealing the ball in midfield, Jupp pushed forward with the ball and blasted an unstoppable strike past the Russian keeper, to send City on its way to victory and keep us top of the table.

Other moments/points worthy of note:

- Matty the team Cripple was on deck to encourage the team along with “occasionally suspended Healey”

- Sheff and Blythe confirmed talks with BOBOME concerning the creation of a new Nightclub “Shyffe” (the club’s Motto is rumoured to be: “Prepare to be Shyffed”) were well on their way.

- James will be collecting contributions for Ivan’s new hearing aid this Wednesday at training.

- Kenny Gasser is just too good.

- Thanks to Ini for travelling all the way up to Beijing. Great to see you mate.

- Adam’s hard work on the right helped him claim yet another assist. his beautiful cross was only slightly deflected by all four Russians defenders and a Chuar stand in Sanlitun, before it fell to Will who finished with class.

- While you are busy reading this Sheff is with your girlfriend.

- And Alex is the “Papa”.
