AD LISBOA 1 - 1 FC AMSTERDAM: REVIEW
The first encounter between two rivals turned out to be a low-key affair without much activity.
By: Saad Maan, Forta Evening News
AD Lisboa and FC Amsterdam have been described as the two great rivals of FSL. Not only due to their competitive nature but also due to the merry-go-round of players between the two clubs.
Amsterdam, known for their defensive play, proved to be a tough team to break down for Lisboa who could only muster up a grand total of one shot in the first half. The Amsterdam manager could be seen pumping up his players from the sideline, a sign of belief.
Despite the Amsterdam manager's sideline antics, it was Lisboa's Kalle Knull who'd open the scoring in the 61st minute following a quick through ball from Cagatay Yilmaz. The goal proved to be controversial due to a foul which was not called from Matthew Lennon in the build-up to the goal.
It wouldn't take long for Amsterdam to equalize. Only seven minutes later, Damon Nurse would send a ball over the top to substitute Jack David, who'd slot it away in the bottom corner. Both teams seemed happy to share the points and would see the game out without much happening in either side of the pitch.
