IFK World Cup 2452: Difference between revisions
→Knockout stage
Line 448:
This group was one of the most anticipated groups because all three nations were very close together. Kiavalar and Grensalbourg were both in East Alaxia, and due to it's Empheri influence, very connected to the High Kingdoms. Ladros and Kiavalar also shared their longest borders with each other.
The first match was Kiavalar against Grensalbourg. Grensalbourg pulled many of it's players from Palaks and Empheris playing in the [[Leagua d'Ewynn]] and thus it had actually a fairly formable team against Kiavalar. However, Kiavalar had been very dominant in recent matches, having not conceded in the last 7 matches they played. Kiavalar played responsively and calmly and focused hard on defence, only looking for some chances to score. This led to a single goal in the 47th minute just after extra time from a free kick. Grensalbourg became desperate towards the latter half for a result putting increasing pressure on Kiavalar. This led to another Kiavalar goal seemingly at the 80th minute which was disallowed due to offside. Then in a miracle, in the 1st minute of injury time a corner gifted Grensalbourg an equalising goal. The second match was Ladros against Kiavalar. Kiavalar was very unhappy with their draw against Grensalbourg and needed a result here believing Ladros could win in their match against Grensalbourg. However, there was a slight perspective of a rivalry match with both countries on the border. Kiavalar played very safe in the first half having 0 shots to Ladros' 3. In the second half, Kiavalar's striker scored two goals but was retaliated by two goals from Ladros. Ultimately, the aspect of the rivalry and expectation of a result loomed large and the match ended in a draw. This left Kiavalar on a knife balance with no more games: their destiny was left in the hands of Ladros.
The final match was Grensalbourg against Ladros. Prior to the match, Grensalbourg was in last place but with a win they could top the group. They came in fully hoping to cause an upset. Due to having no games on the day, the Empheri manager was also in the dressing room for the Grensalbourg team and there has been some controversy to his level of interference. Nonetheless, Grensalbourg went in with a tactic similar to that of Kiavalar with a defensive core. Ladros, if the result stayed a draw, would progress on the tiebreaker and thus also maintained a defensive core. This led to a pretty boring game but when the defence was threatened, they defended hard. Two yellow cards were given to each team, but one foul cost Ladros a concession when Grensalbourg won and scored a penalty. Ladros crashed out of the group stage while Grensalbourg top the group.
