Paying the penalty

Barnabas Kovacs and Matias Bamba missed two penalties to condemn Go Leo to yet another exit at the quarterfinal stages of the Cup competition.

Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Go Leo did well to score two goals in an evenly fought first half but were unable to add a winning third which would see them through to the semifinals.

Despite needing a comeback, the Boss opted to rest a number of key players. Matias Madrid, Aqeel Tuma, Marshal Law, Lubomir Cap and Will Score were omitted from the lineup although Madrid, Cap and Law were introduced in extra time.

Jamie Campbell gave Go Leo an early lead on nine minutes when he rose high to connect with a Kovacs corner. Twenty minutes later, Walter Gallo broke the offside trap to slot home the second and level the tie on aggregate.

There were no goals in the second half and the closest they got to get a third was in extra time when Cap's freekick was headed over by Law.

Go Leo will now focus on maintaining their lead in the league as well as preparing for a Champions League quarterfinal clash with ALP FC.

A Final Mission

Matias Madrid was the toast of Lion's Way after he steered Go Leo into the Champions' League final.

The goalscoring winger scored a brace in a 2-1 win over Pong FC which meant that Go Leo go through on away goals with the aggregate tied at 4-4. Madrid had scored the all important second goal late in the first leg to keep the tie alive.

Things did not start on a good note for the home side when Pong FC took a 12th minute lead and a 4-2 advantage on aggregate. However, after Madrid dispatched a curling freekick in the 38th minute to tie the match, Go Leo took control of the tie.

After the break, Madrid was brought down in the box after making his way past a couple of defenders. The Argentian picked himself up and slotted home the penalty. 2-1 on the night and 4-4 on aggregate. The results shoud have gone beyond doubt but for some spectacular stops by the visiting goalkeeper.

At the final whistle, Lion's Way erupted to celebrate Go Leo's first appearance in a Champions' League final.

Go Leo however will not be able to contest a double this season after they slipped four points behind in the league with a 3-1 lost to Agon FC yesterday. With two matches remaining, the chances of Agon dropping points are slim and Go Leo will most likely have to settle for second.

However, with Champions' League glory in the horizons, no one will dare say that this was a dissapointing season.

Lion's la Bamba to victory



Go Leo lifted the Champions League trophy today for the first time, scoring three times in the first half to beat Addy FC 3-1 in the final. Despite being tied 1-1 at one point, in reality, it was a procession-like final.

Addy was never really in the match and it was one way traffic the moment Matias Bamba, restored to the starting eleven for the final, connected with a Matias Madrid corner in the tenth minute. Go Leo then proceeded to break down Addy with two more goals after conceding an equalizer.

Jamie Campell restored their lead with a screamer in the 20th minute and Tim van Rooijen polished off the win with a header ten minutes later.

Addy simply never showed up for the final and mustered only 45% of the possesion and although they had six shots on target, none were able to worry Go Leo.

The Boss opted to give starts to Bamba and Campbell, two players who have been dropped in recent matches while the number one jersey was given to Eladio de Spiegeleer. Previous first choice Ayila Fortunate paid the price for recent blunders in high-profile matches.

While Bamba was named as Man of the Match, star winger and captain Madrid was the catalyst for the win and provided two assist to help his club add the Champions' League title to their trophy cabinet.


The Boss claims that Madrid deserves all the plaudits, "Matias has been sensational since he came to the club. I think it is appropriate that he was the one who delivered the Champions' League to us."

"He saved us in the semifinals and got us here. This is his stage."
