The match was very hard and there were many fouls on both sides. One player on our side was badly fouled, saw (2) , and punched the other player. He was sent off. Then their team scored a goal and that was it. Our team put up the (3) flag.

In the end all our players felt (8) , especially the one who scored an own goal. He was (9) -faced. When I see the talent in their team and the lack of talent in ours I go (10) with envy.
