DISKIOFF were beaten on penalties in their final game of the 2011 CAMAF Corporate Cup, losing 3-2 after a 1-1 draw with Logday Property Trust on Sunday.
In this tournament, Diskioff appeared dominant and looked comfortable playing their game as usual. Diskioff beat the likes of Ian Dickie, Magpies, The Citizen and The Catalans to top their group.
Statistics show that Diskioff really dominated the first round and it wasn’t a surprise when they won the quarterfinals 9-2 against GVJ.
The semis were tricky as Investec scored the first goal and tried to defend their goal using the “Zone Defense”.
“Zone defense is a type of defense which is the alternative to man-to-man defense; instead of each player guarding a corresponding player on the other team, each defensive player is given an area known as a "zone" to cover.”
However, Investec didn’t know that “zone” tend to be weak on the perimeter, so they are not very effective against teams with good outside shooters. Mouse was the goal scoring hero with two superb late goals… and eventually Diskioff won the game 4-1.
The final of the 2011 CAMAF Corporate Cup was ON!
