July Fourth 128.9 3N-6-1 V - Sadadjang FC 121.1 4-1-3N-2
We took a while to get going in this one and Sadadjang were creating the first few early chances. Firstly Farouk firing wide and Shariari free-kick was saved from Knight, they then hit the target after a corner for Lazarov to header Sadadjang into the lead, It didn't last long as a new look July Fourth found their way into the game with a 20 meter shot blocked by Jepsen, but a minute later Miku tried again from distance to get on the scoresheet, 4 minutes later and July Fourth were into the lead when Petersen picked off Watson to score affter hitting the post, Calavicci made an important challenge to keep us infront at HT, The second half begun and After a few good plays from Sadadjang with Knight making a couple of good saves. Miku again fired us 3-1 into the lead, afterwards we won a free-kick and Petersen struck it over the wall and into the back of the net for his first July Fourth goal... We were not finished there as Petersen found Calavicci to struck a half volley into the empty net... Calavicci continued to win a few sliding challenges in defence and the the new Papaleo recieved the ball in the Sadadjang danger area but Jepsen got it away, In the closing stages Nganbe Nganbe gave away a daft free-kick, Petersen got it on target again but Lara in goal got the finger tips on it to save it.

Lazarov (25) Miku (33,59) Watson (37) Petersen (67) Calavicci (76) MOTM: Petersen - 1pt
