Review for Week 23 : Great performance but one more defeat

Vs Vinayaka
lost 0-2

Hi,

This week we played one of our best matches but still couldnt win the game. But we can take lot of positives from this game. The oppsoition looked scared of us which we havent seen in a long time.
Two goals conceded before our regular goalee Mahesh came on were the only mistakes we committed otherwise the whole team played really well .. we were able to push them back completely in the second half where we had alsmost 80-90% of ball possession. Vasu had a great game so did others..but the standout performer was Chander who came on as substitute in the second half & gave us the much needed experience. Sunil playing in his last game of the season gave one of his best performance. On behalf of the team, I wish him all the best.

Lets hope we do continue this form in the future as well

One of the best matches of the tournament..was well contested by two equally balanced teams.
Wolves started well as Das opened the score for them early in the game but GNB got back with a goal from there captain Windoor. From there on both team looked to attack & at the end it was fair that the game ended in draw. Dinesh added the secod for Wolves & Harish levelled it for GNB.

Thus Monsters finished on top of the table with 6 Points..GNG finished 2nd with 4 points..Wolves finished 3rd with points & GNB finished last with 2 points.
