Double B-Linds!
Daniel Lindskog made his first appearance in the league since recovering from injury and served up a classy display with a brace, helping Go Leo brush aside Elton FC 3-0.
Lindskog suffered an injury in a cup match early in the season and missed 7 league matches.
The Boss opted for an attacking 3-5-2 formation over the 4-5-1 which he normally prefers for league matches. With Barnabas Kovacs shielding the back three, Go Leo went into the break 2-0 up thanks to Lindskog who scored in the 15th & 35th minute.
The Boss revealed the change in formation was down to the fact that he wanted the team to score early.
"It was important to get ahead in terms of the scoreline to settle some nerves. There have been a lot of time that we have left it late to get the goals and playing a lone striker could have attributed to that."
"We have been doing well with three at the back in Champions' League matches so I didn't see any problems deploying the players similarly in the league. However my preference will always be having four at the back"
Quentin Anani grabbed a third ten minutes from time to add some gloss to the scoreline.
Matias Madrid who provided an assist was awarded man of the match and is simply the Lion's best player by far this season.
Madrid was the hero for Leo in an earlier league win at Bonai FC. The Argentinian singlehandedly saved the Lions from the jaws of defeat with two world class freekicks late in the game after Bonai FC took a shock lead after the break.
Go Leo now have 21 points from 8 matches but now faces a tough schedule ahead of them as they prepare to play six consecutive high profile matches, both in the league and Champions League - beginning with Xaitan in the Champions League tomorrow and Ude in the league. They will next face Ude (CL), Xaitan (League), Juventus (League) and Leonardo (League). All four teams are currently league title challengers.
