Max Jaxon turns on CR7 mode to show Portuguese team who's the boss
by: Domenico Jordano (Nightingale Press)
Two sides faced each other in Portuguese capital: the home side Lisbon and table leaders Vienna. The Austrian team went on the pitch concentrated: Zagreb are just 3 points away from reaching them, and not getting a win against a middle-table team would create a serious challenge for their championship plans. "It's 3 or nothing", as JMart said.
That's why Kontinental started the match with a dominance: two shots, corner, a counterattack - and Moritz Hoffman sends the ball into Lisboa's net at the 19th minute. "Heil Hoffman!", - Vienna fans are shouting.
The start was already upsetting for Portuguese team, but the blues decided to push even further. Max Jaxon ran from the middle of the pitch, exchanged passes with Rahman and scored a beautiful 19 yard goal right into the corner of the net!
While fans were watching Max turning into a prime Ronaldo, Lisboa realized that their rectangle 3-2-2-3 formation wasn't working and decided to find an even crazier formation. 0-2 on Half-Time: nothing to lose for the red-black team.
Luckily for Associação Desportiva, 2-2-2-4 formation converted in a goal of Marcus Wood, who decreased the handicap to just one goal. It's 1-2 now!
Now VK had to be careful. A shot from Kalle Knull almost tied the score. Who could extend Vienna's lead? Of course, it was Max Jaxon doubling his contribution at 70th minute. And right after 3 minutes his good friend and assistant Siefad Rahman finally scored his own at 73rd minute. Table leaders finally secured their safety with 1-4 on the sheet.
No miracles in Portugal after Fatima's revelation: Yilmaz missed his one-on-one chance by sending the ball near the post, but even if he scored, it wouldn't save Lisbon from a humiliation. 1-4: Vienna confirm their championship plans and are waiting for Zagreb's reaction.
