Lions downs VSOP

Go Leo climbed back up to the peak after a scintillating 3-1 win over closest rivals VSOP at Lion's Way. The win avenged their 2-3 defeat earlier in the season.

The Lions, who virtually have one foot in the quarterfinals of the Champions League after a 5-0 over Susolo, grabbed the initiative early when they raced to a two goal lead in the first half.

Daniel Lindskog notched a double - his eigth league goal in five appearances, while Matias Madrid scored a late third to secure the win.

Lindskog, a striker brought in early last season with this season in mind, latched onto Hector Bala's lay-off to open the scoring in the 24th minute. The Swede doubled Leo's lead from a setpiece when his header sailed past VSOP goalkeeper Enrico Accordino off a Madrid corner.

After VSOP pulled one back, very much against the run of play, Madrid made sure of the victory in the 85th minute with a thunderous drive from outside the box to restore their two goal cushion.

The Boss was please with their tough week in which they played 10 tough matches and have only lost twice, albeit one being a dead rubber, in that run.

"We had a tough week. But we are leading the pack and this is how we would want it to be. We want to control our own destiny and not rely on favours. This is ideal."

"We have a second leg today (in the Champions' League) and despite having a 5 goal advantage, I want the boys to go out and get a win to keep the momentum going."

Go Leo lead VSOP by one point and are a further four points ahead of third placed Xaitan.
