Javi Carballo scored an amazing four goals

Four goals by Javi Carballo and some exceptional play from Zhu Keung up the flank, plus the already-trademark impenetrable defense which is so typical of the new Glerfoss era - those were the elements that made the huge difference between hosts Liverpool and Tamboerskloof. The Urban Warriors demonstrated all the good sides of their new playing concept, putting the manager's ideas to practice with stunning efficacy. The Reds were given no chance.

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 45217 to Anfield. Everyone was excited about the upcoming Plovdiv derby and the crowd was divided evenly. Liverpool had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. The following players took the field: Bicski - Walter-Birnbauer, van der Wel, Berg - Soto, Isayama, Zandbergen, Nakamura - Canedo, Mistrić, Bach Lauritsen.

TK started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Kluczewski - Svilarski, Paulsen, Commers, Sankar - Keung, Sabag, Kulekin, Talamilla, Beer - Carballo.

The strategy for TK on this day was to use their ability to press. At this time in the match, TK were using their skill at pressing to successfully put pressure on their opponents. After 11 minutes Zhu Keung made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to Javier Carballo who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 0 - 1. It was 0 - 1 at the break. TK claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 67 percent.

Javier Carballo increased TK's lead to 0 - 2 with a superb free kick strike that flew in just under the far top corner. Zhu Keung of TK was able to make an impressive rush past the sluggish Leif Berg, which resulted in the 0 - 3 goal. A penalty was called after 72 minutes, and TK's Javier Carballo made the most of his chance to put his team up by another goal. 0 - 4 for the visitors. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for Javier Carballo. Confident in their lead, TK decided to play a more defensive game at this point. 77 minutes into the game, TK were awarded a penalty and Javier Carballo was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 5 rolling the ball in by the right post. Content with how the game was proceeding, the TK coach let Julien Beckler replace Debendra Sankar after 80 minutes. TK enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

The most dominating Liverpool player was without a doubt Rui Miguel Canedo. Christoph Walter-Birnbauer on the other hand, had a terrible day. TK's top performer was clearly Pinone Talamilla. On the other hand, Julien Beckler's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 5.

Manager Páll Glerfoss was more than happy that the team has found its rhythm

Tamboerskloof took a decisive step towards returning into the big fight for the title, as they earned a precious victory over leader Jelezari, thus shrinking its advantage to a single point. Things are looking increasingly good for the Urban Warriors, who have now gone on a remarkable winning streak.

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 46938 at De Leeukop today. TK had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Starters: Kluczewski - Møller, Paulsen, Commers, Svilarski - Keung, Sabag, Kulekin, Talamilla, Beer - Carballo.

Jelezari started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Demaerschalk - Asulin, Cino, Podaru, Gere, Çevik - Trichkov, Warsame, Özgü, Barber - Valkeeniemi.

TK used their skill at pressing to cut off the attack angles of their opponents all over the field. Jelezari clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. TK's Henrik Paulsen was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 7 minutes. 12 minutes in, the referee awarded TK a penalty. Javier Carballo coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. 27 minutes into the game, Adrian-Cornel Podaru finished off a left wing counter attack, scoring 1 - 1 for Jelezari. 1 - 1 was the halftime score. TK claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

TK's ability to press their opponents all over the field paid off frequently. Coming in from the right, Jelezari had a good opportunity to convert on a counterattack after 58 minutes, but Hristo Trichkov's attempt to finish was easily stopped. With 65 minutes played, Jelezari's Hristo Trichkov fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked Hristo Trichkov for diving. Mikael Valkeeniemi of Jelezari received a yellow card after 74 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 79 minutes Edward Beer made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to Javier Carballo who shuffled it past the keeper. The score was now 2 - 1. TK enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 68 percent of possession.

TK's best player was Pinone Talamilla. On the other hand, Jannick Møller's play was disheartening. Most important Jelezari player was Mikael Valkeeniemi. Hristo Trichkov was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
