Super Ibiba started the game with 9 guys, while Blaine FC was able to field a full 11 plus 5 subs.  Although up 2 guys, Super Ibiba did an outstanding job taking everything away down the middle of the field, leaving only the outsides open.  Blaine was able to sneak a single goal in the first half with a nice finish by the forward.  About 15-20 minutes into the first half Ibiba ended up filling all 11 spots on the field and I believe had a sub or two on the side line.  

Half time came and Blaine was up 1-0, but was confident that finding feet, and stop looking for the "BIG PLAY" was going to be the solution to coming out with a victory. Ibiba ended up losing 1-2 guys at half.

2nd Half started up, and Blaine was able to start putting on the pressure right away.  The forwards started to find the groove and goals started to fall.  Finding the right mix of guys was the game, as well as finding the open space created by Ibiba playing short handed. Goals 2-6 all found the back of the net by teamwork and players working hard out on the pitch.  Not one of these goals came with ease however, as the Ibiba keeper made several outstanding saves, and kept the ball out of the back of the net on several occasions.

Game was called several minutes short as the 9-10 guys Ibiba had were ready to call it a night.  

Overall this was a great game.  I welcome Super Ibiba to the league, as they are a great group of guys.  I wish them the best of luck this season, and am confident that with a full team, they would have put up a much stronger fight.
