Blinder vs. Kassandra
In an intense matchup between Kassandra and Blinders, Kasandra was successful in putting pressure on Blinders and finally breaking through to score a goal in the beginning of the first half. Blinders improved their defense as the match progressed, but Kassandra dominated the game. Saif scored, securing a 2-0 lead. As the second half began, Blinders had shots on target but couldn’t get past the keeper. Saif scored again, securing a 3-0 lead in the match. Blinders were on the backfoot with just over a minute to go, and having conceded three goals, the pressure was on them. Kassandra was eager to maintain their clean sheet, and the match had picked pace with Blinders fighting back harder and trying to score a goal. Blinders had a run to attempt with nobody but the goalkeeper in the way, and what seemed like a perfect opportunity turned into a disaster when the two players made contact, leaving Blinders striker Zidan with a fracture and ending the match early. The foul was deemed worthy of a red card. The unfortunate incident sheds light on how dangerous this sport can get and how, in a split second, a slight misjudgement can cause a serious injury. That being said, the incident also showed the camaraderie and respect these players have for each other as everyone rushed for assistance without a second thought while everyone including the spectators did their part to get help from professionals as soon as possible. The rest of the games were postponed to a later date, and while Kassandra won the game 3-0, it left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth including the victor’s.
