Match Summary -

Jakarta after getting a boost in their defence by signing the new Japanese sensation Ashito Aoi, were off to a flyer. It was just 9 minutes on when Goomy Von Berg dribbled all the way across the right hand side towards the penalty area and gave a low cross to Barker Dez who waiting at the near post. He made light work of the pass and scored a well timed close range finish to make the home side go up 1-0. But at the 17th minute, the eventual Man of the Match Janko Delibasic scored a 24 metres screamer as soon as he received a pass from Don Lorenzo outside the Jakarta penalty area. To make matters worse for Jakarta, after just seven minutes passed on from the equalizing goal, Delibasic gave a tantalizing low pass to Jay Jay Okocha Jr. who was near the six yard box. Without making things hard for himself, JJO Jr. drove the ball into the opponent's goal netting to give Victoria Falls a 2-1 lead. This was the score line when the half time whistle blew. 
Jakarta bounced back immediately in the second half after Seppo Hovi caught a deflected shot from Goomy Von Berg off the crossbar and passed it off to Tonto Tut who was waiting outside the Victoria Falls penalty area. Tonto then replied back with a 24 metres screamer of his own with a powerful shot straight into the bottom corner to equalize the score 2-2. The equalizer though came through Dom Patterson's efforts. Terminus Ultimus (A self proclaimed destroyer of worlds) was caught napping when he tried passing the ball to his fellow defender. Patterson with his quick footballing IQ made swift work of the horrendously weak pass to let P.S. Jakarta take the lead and thereby ultimately winning the match 3-2.
