FOOTBALL MATCH 

Last Sunday, I went to Kasur to see the friendly match of the District Football Tournament. It was played between the Youngmen's Club and the City stars' Club. Both the teams were strong. A large crowed had come to witness the match. They hoped to see a thrilling? and exciting game. 

                   The Youngmen were in red shirts and blue shorts while the Stars wore blue shirts with black shorts. They took up their positions in the field. 

                  At 5-30 the referee whistled, and the game started. As soon as the ball was kicked off, the forwards of both the sides burst into action. The match started at a fait pace/. Both sides made all efforts to get control of the ball. The City Stars made some very good threatening moves but their rivals were vigilant and fast too. 

                     A few minutes after the start, Stars center-forward Naseem received a beautiful cross from the outside-left, and sent the ball to the Youngmen's goal. But the goalkeeper foiled the attempt. The Stars continued making combined but the Youngmen's defenders proved equal to the task. No team could score a goal in the first half. 

                     After the half-time, the Youngmen played an aggressive game. In the first half they had been content to defend, but now they decided to attack. Their forwards got full control over the ball and dominated the match. 

                  Just after the interval, Youngmen's center forward Waseem dribbled  past the Stars' deep defenders, and rushed towards the goal. He moved with such speed that the goalkeeper could not move and the ball was in the net. A few minutes later, he again scored another goal. The Youngmen continued combined moves. They entertained the crowed with their fast game and short passes. They netted three more goals in a row.

                    Some ten minutes before the close of the match, the City Stars made great efforts to fight back. Their center-forward sent a pass to the inside-right who scored his team's first goal. But the Youngmen were active once again. This time it was their captain who displayed fine form. He scored one goal for his side, just before the final whistle. 

                    The youngmen's Club the match by six goals to one.
