Lennon A lost the semi-final

This is bad.... We were the team who were first in the group stage.... And by a big margin. We had scored double the amount of goals in the group stage.... But in the semi-finals against BPO, we were not able to score even one goal...

:-(

Lennon A lost 0-2 to BPO. BPO today were strong on defense. They got a chance in the 2 minute of the match which hit the goalkeeper Alex's hand and instead of giving a penalty, the referee awarded a goal directly. BPO, from then on, were leading the scoreline and came to a very defensive game. Lennon A were on the attack, trying to create chances near the goal, but BPO's defense was like a wall. They had Rohit Menon on the goal post and even Frank was always there at the goal. So it was quite difficult to score. Silly mistake by the Lennon A goalkeeper let the BPO take another lead and then it was BPO all the way. In a way, they deserved to win the game as they had shown the commitment to create such a strong defensive team. Cheers for them. But I will be supporting our Lennon B team who made it to the finals by beating Java in the penalty shootout. Your Duracell bunny, Jomy scored the only penalty kick after the score line was 1-1 at fulltime. This makes it Lennon B v/s BPO finals. I think BPO have the edge to win the finals coz it will be very difficult to break their defense. But Lennon B have scored against them in the group stage. And I would want Lennon B team to win. So best of luck to Lennon B team.
PS: Rohit, from the Lennon B team, while playing the semi-final game, has injured his back and would not be playing the finals. He was one of their main defensive players. And even Kim, the goalkeeper is on leave, so Lennon B has to really try hard to go past the BPO defense. And don't forget the shooters of BPO, who have been blown the shots on goal at the right time.

I am really excited about the final game which will be on Friday, that is tomorrow.
Cheers again!!!!!
