Match 13: Pau vs. La Vella

Time for a road trip to prepare us for our next match, which will be a doozy, believe me. We head to the southeast corner of France, to take on Pau F.C. Can we Pau-er our way past them? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

10' - We're out of the gate quick on this one. Bong Bong Papa Boom Boom, playing in his first match back after a lengthy injury, steals the ball off Kévin Barralon, and got it up to Drewic via Viz-ee and Fisher. Drewic put it top shelf on Thomas Kokkinis, knocking his peanut butter down with it. Why he kept it there, I don't know.

12' - Right off the kick-off, Pau came charging back in. Drewic had a chance to clear it, but instead he gave it up to Mustapha Keita who buried it from 35 yards out on James Brookes. Andrews argued it was offside, but honestly I don't know why. Bad giveaway, nice shot.

15' - THREE minutes after that goal, D'oh Nuts's throw-in finds Drewic, who crosses it into the box for Rhys Davies, who knocks it in. Drewic is all over the place today. Must be all that maple syrup he had earlier....

24' - But Pau keep coming back! On a corner taken by Karim Robin, Pierre Aristouy beat off the challenge of Ben Chia and used his head to score the tally. Will this see-saw battle keep going?

Pau___________________2_-_2__________La Vella
Mustapha Keita 12'________________Alexi Drewic 10'

34' - And a counter punch from La Vella! A loose ball squirts in front of Boom Boom who finishes it off with a namesake shot past a beleaguered Kokkinis. What a return for him! After that goal both teams had an offensive Pau-er outage and the home side was left Pau-ting after a narrow defeat. (OK, I'll stop.)

FINAL SCORE
Pau___________________2_-_3_______________La Vella

Pau in Chinese means 'bun', by the way.

Maybe I was distracted by all the buns on offer, hence allowing their second goal...
