Perfect Tactics 2-0 Ramon FC
Perfect Tactics: 65.9, 4-5-1v/butterfly/4-2N-1-3 | Ramon FC57.3, illegal hexagon
This was one frustrating match against an illegal formation. What we expected to be a walkover, turned out to be a nightmare of a match. Nothing we threw at them could break their illegal formation down until late on the match. Their goalkeeper made 6 saves and kept the score low as we kept resorting to long range strikes which were easily saved. We had good chances in the first half to finish them off but it wasn't to be. In the 2nd half, we were sweating a bit as time was running out to find the opening goal. We still couldn't get past them so we threw the kitchen sink and played with 3 strikers which only made it slightly better. Along with hard attacking, we decided to take off Shlimazl and Zenzizenzike who had poor games and replace them with Pistov and Poncet. The substitutions worked a treat, both scored late on in the game to give us a 2-0 advantage going into the away leg. Pistov broke free of the defence and made it 1-0 and then Poncet from a corner made it 2-0.
Goals: Pistov (80'), Poncet (86')
