ThE KoP 126.1 Wide Diamond AMR instead of MR, July Fourth 4-3W-1-2
Unlike the first leg where ThE KoP played brilliantly and nearly caused a shock win until July Fourth found a way to play against them, the 2nd leg was a lot more confortable and we even choose to leave out Hogan,Hardy and Beckett who were all on yellow cards, We setup the same formation that got the late win over ThE KoP and played Lenoil OOP as a left-back... We controlled the game but without being urgent we soundly got the opener midway through the first half with a solo Papaleo move with the young striker showing pedrigree to turn it over the keeper and cancelling out The KoP's away goal, We still created chances with Pietropaolo mis-firing today and Watson also coming close but it wasn't until we won a free-kick in which Petersen scored from to get the killer away goal, we withdrew some first team players as soon it was 2-0, ThE KoP did score a consolation with Akbarpour's cross finding Sandiono for a simple tap in, but the tie had been long lost for ThE KoP and we played out the rest of the game with Pietropaolo missing a late chance to repeat the first leg scoreline.

Manager Points: Petersen 3,Calvicci 2,Lenoil 1.
Team Talk: Yes, we only had to score a couple of goals to secure our CL final place and we did that quite comfortably without needing to get out of second gear.
