Today, we bounced back from our champions league exit with a 4:0 win in league play against an illegal formation. Overall, it was a rather lackluster performance though.

In the cup semi-final the first leg was a hard fought game, with us striking first for a 1:0 lead, before the opponent equalized 1:1 just 4 minutes later. With roughly fifteen minutes to play, Herrera blasted home a seething rocket from distance for the game winner in a 2:1 victory. Second leg will be played at his place and another difficult game is expected. I played a 4-4-2 classic while the opponent used a 3n-1-4-2. Both managers were active. He changed to a 3-5-2 flat during the match, while I stayed with the 4-4-2. I probably should have switched to a narrow diamond in retrospect though.
