German Open day three - Quaterfinals vs Naova

 After the group stage it is now time for the quarterfinals. We play Naova from Canada. As in the last match against Naova the game will be under Challenge Shield rules. Another change is for elimination stage matches like this one that the time will be stopped when a stoppage of play occurs. This makes for longer, more challenging matches.

 After a eventful start to the match were many a robot was falling we managed to score the opening goal in the fourth minute. We scored again in the seventh minute. This time by a clever ball behind the defense's back. With 10 seconds remaining on the clock we scored the third goal of the match.

 We started the second half with the most clever opening we could think of: a big pileup in the center circle. After this initial upset we continued to score in the sixth minute for a score of 4:0. However this maneuver cost us two robots who did not return in time thus we reopened play with only three robots. Despite this limited number of robots we scored again with just over two minutes on the clock. After a sprint to the front we score a sixth goal. Shortly after the final whistle blew for a final score of 6:0.

We can now advance to the semifinal. Our opponent is still to be decided: the winner of quarterfinal number 4. It will be either HULKs or Berlin United.
