Gallera FC Enters Ang Liga

(Manila, Philippines) - Gallera FC qualifies for the Philippine Premier League aka "ANG LIGA" in Trophy Manager Online. The team won in stunning fashion via penalty shoot out against Sandigan FC of Batasan Hills, Quezon City. 

It was a hard fought battle in the pitch, with neither team willing to let their opponents score. Chances were plenty but goals would not just come as easily. The squad was faced with injury problems, with first choice set piece taker Fidel "Ramos" Uria and Midfield Goalscorer Angel "Milan" Barros out of the line-up. Team Captain Ceasar "dakog lawas artista sa bisaya" Parra leads the back four but was taken out for injury around halftime. Then it was scoreless until the 120 minute.

Penalty shootout as it came. A German once told me when we were watching the 2006 World Cup Final against Italy and France, right before the game started he said, "I think this will come out to penalties". Then after 120 minutes he was right... It was down to penalties, then I said to him "You wer'e right", then he replied "I hate It... gives me a heart attack". Hahaha found it funny cause he was an old guy. But for me, the penalty shootout is the greatest spectacle for a match decider.

Back to the game... It was a classic. Ayala Alonzo did not expect it again. The team's first penalty shootout was a disaster. It also happened this season as Gallera FC lost against a 3rd div team in the Cup via penalties. But this time it was different and yet it's time to make it right. 

The shootout was filled with action. The Gallera FC Players hammered the goals. Goalkeeper Pedro Guijarro made the most important saves of his career. But the stunner was from new signing Fabrice "Belgian Boy" Devinck. He looked at the right post... then hit it to the left, sending the keeper to the wrong way. Pure Magic! Ayala Alonzo was impressed. 

Good Luck to all of us in ANG LIGA Division 1!
