LEAGUE ROUND 18 - A SCRAPPY WIN
BFC United 1-3 July Fourth
BFC United 120.8 4-4-2 Classic - July Fourth 131.8 3N-4-1-2, then 4-3W-1-2 63 minutes
This was a scrappy game to be fair because although we were 11Q higher than our opponents, they were the better team here in this game for the entirety of the first half it was BFC that were creating almost every chance in the half and could of scored a couple of occasions... Fentor was the main player causing us problems with trying to play that dangerous ball in and once took a shot on goal which was blocked, Ramirez and Calavicci though worked hard in defence, We only needed one moment at the end of the first half with Miku's pass to Pietropaolo to tuck it into the far corner to give us the lead, BFC continued to have the best of the play early in the second half and it wasn't until we decided to put Miku's number on the board to be substituted, thankfully for us Miku's last touch of the ball ended up in the back of the net to make it 2-0 from 25 meters. We switched to a back 4 and went 4-3-1-2 pushing Kusama to AMC and we brought on Michu... The game turned slightly in our favour here as Petersen put a shot wide and Watson hit the woodwork but late on we were given another scare as BFC pulled one back on 87 minutes, Ramos beat a defender and it ricochet off for a corner, Koblischek crossed it in and Ramo's header hit the back of the net, there was one final attack in the game and thankfully it was a good response from July Fourth as Pietropaolo got in past the defence and was fouled in the area for a penalty and Petersen sent the keeper the wrong way since Papaleo had been brought off earlier for Michu.
Goals: Pietropaolo (40) Miku (62) Ramos (87) Petersen (89) MOTM: Calavicci - 1pt
