LEAGUE ROUND 4 - A SCRAPPY WIN INDEED
Sz FC 1-2 July Fourth
Sz FC 121.8 4-2-2-2 Hexagon - July Fourth 129.9 4-4-1-1 then 26 minutes 4-3W-1-2
A nail biting difficult evening away at Sz FC in the first of 4 meetings between the 2 teams this season and it never came that easy, Sz FC were the better side in the first 15 minutes or so before July Fourth began to take some control, we created many chances with Miku having around half dozen efforts saved or just off target... Most of our play came through Petersen and his corner taking today won us the game... Just. We took the lead on 18 minutes from a Petersen corner for Pietropaolo header in, Diamond was forced off injured so we threw on Papaleo and switched to 4-3W-1-2, Papaleo still hasn't found form yet but I am sure that will happen soon. As the first half drawed to a close a foul on Beckett won us a free-kick, Petersen got it on target and it went for another corner, Petersen crossed in and Pietropaolo headed that one into the net as well... You would think we would go onto win comfortably but it was anything but in the second half, Miku kept missing chances and Sz FC found a way past our defence with Wriessnig getting his shot on target to beat Knight, They also had chances to get the equaliser a Wriessnig free-kick was saved and Wriessnig took the corner for Calavicci to header away, Petersen soon had another corner but this time Pietropaolo fouled in probably in a attempt to seal the hatrick and Sz FC had one last chance to equalise... Mendez passing to Serri for only Pietropaolo to block it and we got the win.

Team Talk: Were very fortunate to win this game I feel, was rather even with Sz FC creating enough chances to score and nearly got the late equaliser, We nearly paid for not taking our chances here but we move on and we have 4 wins out of 4 so far and tomorrow we host B F C United in the league before taking on Sz FC away again tomorrow night in the Champions League.
