Our last match in Ankara International league for this season was planned to be against Nordics. It has been postponed to yesterday since it was heavy snow in March. In the evening the weather conditions changed in Ankara to be really wet and although the rain stopped in second half we were soaked like frogs even when the match started. Big pools of water staying on the grass caused the ball stopped several times in the game but made it more difficultl for both sides.  

We managed to get close to  opponent goal many times but ones we pushed the ball in and took the lead, 1:0 (Meder). Immediately Nordics shifted second gear with Nikolaj and Kadir leaving us sometimes just watch in midfield (Meder, Michal, Ruslan, Ahmet). But again our solid defence (Mustafa, Amir, Dan and Ilker) created a wall which was not easy to overcome. If Nordics came through it our last man Viktor in the goal was very reliable and covered the ball in his gloves. Anyway Nordics equalized quite quickly - 1:1, and added extra goal - 1:2. We played up and down and tried to shoot. Ahmet got the ball. Nice shot but hits the crossbar...very unlucky. A bit disappointed at half. 

Second half started in the same sense as the first one ended. We played up and down. Viktor made some really nice saves. Two dangerous fouls occurred.  First on Meder who was slightly injured and could not continue. Then a bad slip from Ahmet...yelow card. Suddenly Ruslan made a good tackle and shot a lobby ball over the goalie...equal again, 2:2. Fast after this Ilker tried it almost from the same position and same ball, 3:2. And it was around 5 min to end. Whistle...finished.

There is one more match where Nordics is unlikely to win with IIS. If this happen we are 4th and I am convinced this is a big succes for our team and I am really happy.

Bravo AMAC!!!
