Go Forth & Conquer, Leo!

Lions find away comfort
Season 19

Go Leo clinched a vital 2-3 away win in the first leg of their last 16 Champions League tie at Grays Athletic.

Despite falling behind early in the 14th minute, the first goal they have conceded this season in the campaign, the Lions equalised soon after when Yvon Josipovic set up Caan Score to make it 1-1. The two sides remained level until halftime.

Eleven minutes after the restart, man of the match Yvon Josipovic burst through the middle to slot home and give the visitors a 2-1 lead but their joy was shortlived. Just two minutes later, the home side equalized.

Score found space in the 82nd minute and carved out an opening for Jimi George to rifle in the winning goal and a vital third away goal to ensure that Go Leo bring a huge advantage home for the second leg.

The Lions have found comfort in the Champions League this season and they have a 100% record in the campaign. Go Leo currently lie fifth on goal difference in the league and look to have a struggle to maintain Champions League status next season.
