Champions League quarter finals - 1st leg

Super subs save us from an embarrassment!

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')
MOTM: Pistov

League, round 17

Our strongest opponents crushed!

Stefan FC 2-8 Perfect Tactics

Stefan FC: 59.7, 4-3W-1-2 | Perfect Tactics: 65.9, 4-5-1v/4-1-1-2W-2

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')

League, round 18

Perfect Tactics get revenge!

lion FC 1-6 Perfect Tactics

Lion FC: 55.5 5-3N-2 flat | Perfect Tactics: 66.0, 3N-5-2v

Lion FC beat us at home 0-1 while we were away on holiday. This was our big chance to get revenge and go 7 points clear at the top of the league. They may have taken away our unbeaten run but today's result showed that their win was a FLUKE. We were out to hit them back hard and that's what we did. We took the lead through Pistov after a boring first half hour but 5 minutes later, Martinez got the equaliser for Lion FC from a free kick. Before we knew it, that was the end of the half and we still had work to do. However it only took 4 minutes for us to take the lead. Petersen's free kick was headed in by Shlimazl for a very important goal. A quick double by Petersen gave us a 1-4 lead, both goals came from long range strikes and we were taking control of the game. Silly scored when the goalkeeper failed to keep out his shot and a late Petersen goal completed his hat trick and a crushing blow to lion FC's run this season.

We are now 7 points clear of 2nd place. 2 weeks ago, we were 2 points off the leader. It was possible to have a 26-0-0 season but we lose twice while we were away and to be honest, they were very flukey wins for our opponents. On Monday we have our revenge match against our opponents SSS United FC and we are looking to annihilate them.

Goals: Pistov (32'), Martinez (37'), Shlimazl (49'), Petersen (57', 58', 85' HAT), Silly (75')
