First Half
Goal 0-1 // Shakhtar Lastnight - Own Goal 12 Rizzo
Just like the first cup match the side go behind within the first minute, as the striker waltzes past CBFC players too easily crossing the ball. Rizzo fails to clear at the back post slipping the ball into the wrong net.
Goal 0-2 // Shakhtar Lastnight
After a brief spell of possession Kermit found the keeper with a shot on target. The next time they found possession it was kick off, Rizzo played in the opposition striker leaving him to round Fozzie and score from a tight angle.
Goal 1-2 // Nick H - Assist 14 Kermit
3 goals in 3 minutes, as had happened with CBFC the next time Shakhtar would get possession it was kick off. Under pressure from kick off Beaker and Kermit kept the ball then Nick stepped in, extending his scoring run from last week by finding the corner of the net from long range after bending the ball around the defender leaving the keeper rooted to the spot from the unexpected strike.
Goal 1-3 // Shakhtar Lastnight
With about 90% possession to Shakhtar and with CBFC unable to keep the ball it was surprising the score was even close for 10 minutes. But a bad pass and subsequent run at defence had ended that.
Second Half
Goal 1-4 // Shakhtar Lastnight
Poor marking and a fast passing move in CBFC's half gave the scorer a large chunk of time and vision of the goal after Kermit could of scored thirty seconds earlier.
Goal 1-5 // Shakhtar Lastnight
It was too early in the day to be sleeping but that was the case for the fifth as Shakhtar scored for the fourth time early into a half with slack marking the main cause. Unsure as to whether the target from the kick in meant for his volley to be a shot or a pass across goal, it did not matter as the previous scorer grabbed an easier goal this time round.
Goal 1-6 // Shakhtar Lastnight
The runners forward could not be dealt with as yet again Shakhtar found it too easy to get shots on goal. Hit from range, Fozzie could do little about the quality of the shot placed into the right side of the goal.
Goal 1-7 // Shakhtar Lastnight
CBFC had a spell of possession producing a string of passes, however when Nick was caught in the centre of the pitch the back two of Big Bird and Gonzo were on other sides of the pitch leaving a big open space for the scorer to exploit.
Beaker came close to scoring as his shot was saved from the excellent block by the keeper, following up Beaker's cross found Kermit but after scoring twice last week he found the outside of the post with the keeper out of position with just one player on the line.
Shakhtar Lastnight were relentless for 20 minutes making their opponents chase the ball constantly, the passing and organisation were far superior to most of the opposite teams. After cruising to a six goal lead Shakhtar drifted off in the last ten minutes doing little to threaten Fozzie. They should have scored on the final whistle however overplaying and Fozzie's tackle put a stop to that.
The run of three tough games had ended however, so had the cup run for the season with the next game proving little else than a practice for the second half of the league season.
