Champions League Group D Round 2
the phone fc 1-1 July Fourth
the phone 125.1 4-1-3W-2 - July Fourth 135.5 Hexagon then 30 minutes 4-4-2 classic
Yes a draw here and a typical 1-1 kind of draw as well. Not much to talk about that it was a poor performance by us, Carey-Bertram for the phone was causing us problems as our defence had to deal with him on a number of occassions but when you have Calavicci its not normally a problem. Kusama had an effort for us and he shot over the bar and we were made to pay for it when Sonogo beat our defence and powered his shot past Knight to give the phone a half-time lead.
We were not concerned or in any sort of panic mode or anything as we know this is only the group stages of the CL and you can afford an off day as we did 2 seasons ago when we lost 2 group games but still went onto win the competition, the phone started the second half well when Delgado and Badawi had a shot on target and Sonogo was tackled by Calavicci, We made changes midway through the 2nd half and just as we were heading for a shock defeat this evening the phone piled on more pressure from Badawi and Carey-Bertram both having efforts blocked, Then Papaleo got the ball late on, managed to squeeze past a defender and struck the ball well that the keeper could not get anywhere near it for our equaliser, Delgado had a late effort blocked by Miku-Zidane late on as the phone tried to win the game.
Goals: Sonogo (40) Papaleo (83) MOTM: Sonogo.
Team Talk: A disappointing and below par performance from us, but I guess it doesn't really matter too much here. We normally qualify from the group stage with ease in the end.
