Lions rise to the occassion.

The newly built 57,000 capacity Lion's Way was honoured with a classy performance today by Go Leo when they dished out a 5-1 beating on Blejan FC in their Group E Champions' League encounter today. The win also avenged their 4-1 defeat in the opening group match.

Go Leo started with their normal formation with three at the back and attacking fullbacks providing options on the flanks. Walter Gallo was rested and striker Daniel Lindskog came in to start on the right flank. There was no Marshall Law in the starting eleven and his place was taken by defender Martin Tellefsen.

However it was the visitors who drew first blood and silenced the capacity crowd early in the 10th minute.

It took 16 minutes for Go Leo to draw level. Jamie Campbell's curling freekick was turned away by the visiting goalkeeper and from the subsequent corner, Campbell rose high to equalize.

Mathis Bamba then put the homesters 2-1 up before veteran Tim van Rooijen headed in a third off a Campbell freekick on 40 minutes.

The Boss withdrew Bamba at the break and introduced misfiring Stephen Devine.

The visitors were reduced to ten men after Chris Gold was shown a second yellow and Lubomir Cap gleefully curled a freekick beyond the keeper's reach. Van Rooijen completed the rout and his second for the evening, burying a shot after receiving a pass from Lindskog.

The crowd erupted at the final whistle and many will be back to fill the majestic stadium later for a league match with Nicolo FC.

Go Leo leapfrogged Blejan in the group and currently lead on goal difference.
