The second leg of the Champions League Quarter Final looked to be a formality. But with Buffs FC maintaining a small squad with 2 League suspensions outstanding, 2 injured and several yellows in the team - the real test was to manage the situation.

Buffs Mad opted for a flat 4-4-2 to try to just get through the tie with no drama. A Bremner header from a Dave Mackay free-kick in the opening 10 mins put the Buffs ahead. Valiant defending by the visitors kept the deficit to 1 throughout the rest of the half. At half-time Buffs rested a central midfielder and MR, switching to a hex as the only replacement for the later was an AMR. Goals in the 56th and 83rd minutes gave Johnstone a double. An 11-0 aggregate victory does however mask the fine defensive qualities exhibited by the visitors and the breakaway threat.

Buffs now must move onto league business with only 2 subs on the bench - carrying 2 injuries and 2 1 match suspensions - unless it is decided that intensive treatment is required to aid the injured's recoveries.
