After 15 minutes on the back foot, West Ham countered. Leo De Oliveira saw a goalbound effort blocked before James Collins met a corner with a towering header that diverted narrowly over the bar.
And then, just as it looked like the Hammers were set for a consecutive 0-0 draw at the end of normal time, with virtually the last kick of the game, Thetsane’s cross was sent deep to the far post, where Erik Pereira teed up Sousa to tap in from point-blank range and ensure we headed into Target Score Time with a 1-0 advantage.
With a Target Score of two set and a lot at stake, the opening period of Target Score Time had the hallmarks of a chess match.
And after West Ham goalkeeper Brian Orozco denied Graterol at one end, he almost became the unlikely hero at the other, when he was thwarted twice by the Tenfifteen shot-stopper.
At 4v4, the game became increasingly stretched, and Tenfifteen levelled in the 17th minute of Target Score Time via Kosséhassé.
Ultimately, it was a case of next goal wins, and as it went to 3v3, the Hammers were left crestfallen again when Ocampo took advantage of a defensive miscommunication to seal a comeback victory for Tenfifteen.
