Football AWAY. . . at home

There was a rush hour in my kitchen.

The afternoon meal was fast and furious

Then it was time to fire up the puter to watch Sakon FC get slaughtered

Sakon FC scored first and early in the game. They didn't maintain the lead for very long.

You could tell The Sakon players were worn out during the last 20 minutes of the game. Roi Et's goals came in rapid succession.

Final score Roiet 4, Sakon 1 

Sakon FC management should really consider transporting the players a day before the game, so they are rested on game day. Of course it would mean accommodation expenses.
