Fusion United

[David Malone]

Separated by just a point at the summit of the level 2 league, a clash of first and second in the table promised to be a tight encounter decided by a moment of magic. So it seemed fitting that the game came down to just one moment for PollaFC after just 5 minutes, when Nikogaj Gargantini scored for the visitors, in what proved to be the winning goal, and what could send the title to PollaFC this season.

In a brave performance from the Clarets, they battled tremendously for their manager and each other but it all proved to be in vain as they slipped to a 4 point gap to the leaders with 12 games of the season remaining. Sadly the sadness in the camp was intensified as 30 minutes into the match, Mijailovic picked up an ankle strain which will see him out for the next two games. A rock in the defence he will be sadly missed for the games coming up.

Registering figures of 17 shots, 5 of which where on target, and a pass completion rate of 82%, United gave their all in pursuit of the all important equaliser, but it never materialised for them.

The Clarets now must rely on results elsewhere in order to clinch the title and need to regain the form that saw them romp to second place, 8 wins in a row and better will be needed to prise the title away from its likely destination.

Brighter news on the day was the debut of Fusion United's new singing Robbie Keane, a young 20 year old striker signed from Hamada FC for a $505k fee. A very promising striker who is 27 rated and has a bright future ahead of him with the team.

Next up for Fusion United is a double header, starting with a trip to NEYMAR FC, who currently sit bottom of the table with just 3 points, we will surely see this as a match we can win. The same day we pay the first leg of our Champions League 1/4 final vs Lucian FC, this time at home which should prove to be a great night for the Clarets fans' to enjoy, regardless of the result.
