We thought this match would give us problems, Stefan FC are the strongest team in the league after us but have been suffering a bit. They took the lead on 4 minutes, Poosz setting up Esbensen for an easy tap in. Our opponents were by far the the better team but a Nascimento goal out of nowhere gave us an equaliser just 12 minutes later. We changed formation as it was clear that the 4-5-1v was not that effective. Pistov came on for Hardy and we played with 2 strikers. Just before half time we took the lead, Magill getting his first goal for the club after Shlimazl set him up to slam home. We were taking control of the game and the 2nd half was a walk over. Petersen adding to the score from a 1 vs 1 position 2 minutes after the break. We were not stopping there, Petersen set up Pistov for 1-4 from a corner and 3 minutes later, Nascimento made it 1-5 with another long range goal. We were killing our strongest opponent in the league and we continued to punish them, 2 quickfire goals from Petersen made it 1-6 and 1-7 respectively, one from long range and another from a free kick. StefanFC rarely threatened in the 2nd half but scored with their only chance in the half, Esbensen getting a second goal after breaking free of the defence and finishing past the goalkeeper. That was not the last goal of the game, Petersen got another and it was substitute Constantinides who set up the goal.
Goals: Esbensen (4', 86'), Nascimento (16', 62'), Magill (43'), Petersen (47', 73', 74' HAT, 90'), Pistov (59')
