Golden Eternals of Chaqua Muscle Their Way To Deserved Draw Against Hashutites

Golden Eternals of Chaqua 1

Oatlgorit-tlu

Hashutites 1

Farkan Tinthroat

An outstanding fluid display from the Golden Eternals of Chaqua kept their thin hopes of a playoff berth alive by denying their illustrious opponents and reigning champions, Hashutites, victory.

Fardinand, the minotaur, was the culprit that caused the draw from the jaws of victory.

Going into the match, Hashutites were determined to return to winning ways after suffering defeat in the Chaos Derby, and saw the stunty skinks as a source of satisfaction. Indeed, Hashutites broke the deadlock late in the first half after Farkan Tinthroat converted a powerful offensive drive. The lizards had little by way of defence as their numbers were whittled by the tackling prowess of dwarfs.

But saurus Tza-oatl ensured that the sides began the second half on an equal-footing as he removed the dangerous, though erratic, minotaur. A more than fair exchange for a skink,

A rare treat: watching skinks complete a passing move.

Indeed, from the restart, goalscorer Farkan was injured by in-form Tza-oatl to set up a fascinating contest. The paramedic staff were hard-pressed as both sides mesmerised with a series of gloriously violent shots, which ultimately opened up the field for the explosive skinks to exploit. Though under the threat from slippery hobgoblins, Hejami in particular had a fine sack, Oatlgorit-tlu saw his opportunity to slip between the dwarfen defenders to equalise after catching a lofted ball from fellow midget, Otl du Lac.

With the scores level, Hashutites pushed for the winner to keep up with the League leaders. Only the intervention from Ferdinand's blitzing mishap allowed the lizardmen to sneak in and sack Bultar and cough the ball out of harms way to secure a famous win for the Lustrian outfit.

The game-saving blitz for Chaqua to force the ball off-field.

Mango's Valuable Player: Tza-oatl played a huge part by remomving two key opponents moments at either end of the half-time interval. His contribution allowed the skinks the space to swarm and equalise.
