LEAGUE ROUND 24 - A CLOSE CALL
July Fourth 4-3 Fha FC
July Fourth 125.5 Narrow Diamond then 30 minutes 4-5-1 V - Fha FC 111.8 4-1-1-2W-2
This was basically a warzone with July Fourth taking on one of NAMO UNITED's many alt accounts they have on the server, We wanted to roll these ****ers over and finish the job off, but they were persistent, funny how for 22 other games they left unmanaged in the bottom half of the league but when they faced us they became active in hope of derailing us of the league title. July Fourth hit the ground running with a brilliant shot from 25 meters for Beckett to put us into the lead but however rather unexpectedly there was a strong reply from our rivals with a shot from Toern struck well past Knight and 5 minutes later Fha took a shock lead after Hogan gave away a free-kick which Freire sent round the wall and into the goal, we were all of a sudden shocked and in a bit of trouble and Fha were enjoying a good spell in the first half, The won another corner that Hogan headed away and Milner trying to supply the attackers was cut out by Childs, We needed a change of tactic since ND wasn't working too well and we switched to the V, Pietropaolo then came into the game and he had a chance to level up the match before HT but it was blocked as with Diamonds shot that went for a corner that came to nothing, We were 2-1 behind at HT and not playing our natural game. We had to do something.
The second half started promising for us as we were getting more joy from the 4-5-1 V, O'Sullivan quickly made his way through the defence and a stunning pass to Pietropaolo who samshed it past the keeper giving him no chance and we were back level, thankfully we didn't have to wait long until we took the lead when Pietropaolo made a solo effort to get through on goal and shot past the keeper with full of confidence and it was soon 4-2 when Beckett passed to Diamond who also smashed it past the keeper. After Calavicci had a couple of shots blocked and Diamond blasted a shot wide Fha staged a fightback and Arsovic went for a long effort and Knight couldn't get his fingertips on it to save it and we were at 4-3 with just over 10 minutes to play, There was a chance for us to bury the game once again and Pietropaolo did well to get the ball to Childs but he struck it wide. There was one last chance for Fha to get an equaliser... Malik gave the ball away and Toern ran with it and thankfully Calavicci was able to get the sliding tackle in and clear the ball away for July Fourth to get that important victory.
Goals: Beckett (6) Toern (9) Freire (14) Pietropaolo (49,50) Diamond (55) Arsovic (78) MOTM: Pietropaolo.
Team Talk: Well we got out of jail there basically and its hard to believe how Fha couold score 3 goals past us when we had only conceded 6 in the entire league before this game, NGE Trolls were out big time and we survived this... Just. It would of been unbelievable and sickening had we failed to win this game. Looks like Justice is finally going to be done. We only need to win against either "Sadadjang FC" tomorrow evening away OR at home against our sister team "erster FC Puma"
