After we unfortunately lost our last group match against TIGERs Mannheim this morning at 11:30 AM with a score of 10:00, we now move on to the first semifinal match of the tournament against Immortals at 4:00 PM. The winner of this match will play in the Grand Final tomorrow at 2:00 PM against the winner of the second semifinal match today at 5:30 PM. The losers will play in the small final tomorrow at 12:30 PM.
Since yesterday’s match against Immortals ended with only a one-goal lead for them, we have a realistic chance of taking the win in this game. If we lose, there is also the possibility that we won’t play in this tournament anymore, as Tritons have not yet played a game and the small final tomorrow may be canceled as a result.
First Half
| 05:00 | Both Immortals and our team are getting ready for the match. It will probably start in a few minutes. ER-Force is playing in yellow, Immortals in blue. |
| 05:00 | With a four-minute delay, the game starts with a kickoff by us. Once again, our robot doesn’t shoot, so after five minutes, the ball is released for all players. The ball ends up out of bounds. |
| 04:40 | The corner is actually dangerous for us, but our goalkeeper can defuse the situation. |
| 04:05 | Another dangerous throw-in by Immortals, but the pass goes past its receiver and directly out of bounds. |
| 03:57 | But now it happens: Immortals play the ball across our penalty area to a teammate on the other side, who doesn’t hesitate and shoots past our goalkeeper into the goal! |
| ER-Force 0 : 1 Immortals | |
| 03:50 | This time it’s a chip goal by Immortals, but it doesn’t count, as the ball must not exceed 15 cm in height when shooting at goal. |
| 03:15 | The game continues to take place only in our half. A dangerous ball towards our penalty area is cleared by one of our robots, although out of bounds, which is a foul. |
| 02:30 | After some skirmishing, the ball is shot at our goal again, but so weakly that it poses no real threat to our goalkeeper. |
| 01:47 | Finally, an attack by us. But with only 3 robots in play, the attack fizzles out. It’s hard to mount a successful attack with just one striker. |
| 01:39 | And here comes the counter: During a nice attack by Immortals, their robot manages to shoot past our goalkeeper into the goal. |
| ER-Force 0 : 2 Immortals | |
| 00:41 | There are several attacks on our goal, but our goalkeeper successfully defends multiple times. |
| 00:37 | What looks like a goal against us is fortunately a double touch by Immortals. Lucky for us, the score remains unchanged. |
| 00:00 | With two goals for Immortals, we go into halftime. |
Second Half
| 05:00 | With four robots for us and five for Immortals, the second half begins. At least this time we managed the kickoff successfully. |
| 04:51 | And already we are down to three robots. Our new motor drivers tend to get very hot and often need a short cooldown. |
| 04:02 | Actually, some really nice moments for our team. But unfortunately, our attacker lacks the passing options for his attacks, so the attack fizzles out into a sideline out. |
| 03:30 | With a fourth robot in play, our attacks and their dangers slowly increase, but unfortunately, no goal has been scored yet. The game is now visibly taking place in Immortals’ half. |
| 02:51 | The first time we seriously had a shot on goal. Unfortunately, it was a bit too obvious, so it didn’t go in. |
| 02:38 | A quick timeout by us to test a robot. After the test results are acceptable, it is promptly put in, giving us five robots again. |
| 01:54 | That was lucky! Immortals score a goal against us, but they also commit a foul by having a robot in our penalty area. Thus, the goal doesn’t count. |
| 01:11 | We have to substitute a robot again. Since this is now the sixth time this half, we receive a yellow card as only five substitutions per half are allowed. |
| 01:02 | The ball looked dangerous right from the kick-off, and it proved to be: Another goal by Immortals against us! |
| ER-Force 0 : 3 Immortals | |
| 00:00 | Thus, the game ends with Immortals winning 3:0. |
