Two Lucky Nines ? [revised]

from the UFL Doubleheader

October 16 - Rizal Stadium

Doctora  and  Gallardo

[from behind the goal]

No, I wouldn't say they are lucky [just wanted a catchy title].

Stallions FC's #9 Ruben Doctora and Ceres-La Salle's #9 Adrian Gallardo both work hard [w/ the help of their team mates] to score - both drawing first blood for their their teams.

 Ruben Doctora #9 [in red] drills the ball up the left corner of the goal.

[Image shows the ball, just micro-seconds after Doctora releases]
The speed and trajectory of the ball 
is just too much for GAU keeper #22 Kim Versales to handle.

{ Stallions - 1 / Green Archers United - 0 }  14th minute

 Adrian Gallardo #9 [black] sends this one over Global keeper [green] Deyto 

[catching Patrick in the wrong foot] - to score Ceres' first goal.

{ Ceres - 1 / Global - 0 }  {38th minute}

 Jeffrey Christiaens #28 [despite the tenacious Global D]

with barely a micro-micro-second to spare,

releases this "prayer of a shot".

The ball sails just past the [upper left corner] of the goal.

Global keeper Deyto leaps and streches but fails to deflect the sphere.

The photo above captures Deyto, at the peak of his jump.

The ball is not caught in the image -

 as it is already about to hit the right goal post {upper right corner}.

I obviously am not that fast to capture that CLIMACTIC moment ...

... as in, follow the path of the ball from the time it leaves Christiaensen's foot
 ->all the way up past the upper left corner till it hits the right goal post to
RICOCHET IN !   for point #2 
{ Ceres - 2 / Global - 0 }  {42nd minute}
 
{ hoping to capture that decisive moment 
when Deyto's hands MIGHT touch/deflect the sphere }
Unfortunately - It doesn't happen. 

My next immed' image, is that of a frustrated Deyto lying on the ground - realizing that his best efforts, again, fail to prevent a Ceres goal

[ this time, Ceres' second - as Global remains scoreless ].

Final Scores 

Stallions FC - 3      Green Archers United FC- 1

Ceres-La Salle FC - 5       Global FC - 0

When Stephan Schrock's son dances in front of me 
I simply point, compose, focus, and shoot as fast as i possibly can !

 after he's done dancing   ..... seconds later  ....
he goes to dad
