July Fourth were anything but certain to qualify for the 3rd round (Playoffs) of the cup after they beat Fontanellese 4-0 in the first leg, our job here was just to see this one through, We got off to the perfect start with Miku's shot flying into the top corner, there was a good spell from Fontanellese in the first half but our defence with Ramirez was just too good to cut out Cano's attacks, Beckett had a free-kick saved and Miku just before HT made it 2-0 with a run onto the ball taking it past the keeper to slot it home.
The tie was dead and buried now and the was still some more goals to come, Petersen's effort on 58 minutes hit the back of the net before we gave away a free-kick which allowed Fontanellese a consolation goal with Brennan converting the free-kick which comes as no surprise seeing he is an 8* specialist to us. We did find time for one more goal from both substitutes Michu teaming up with Miku-Zidane to tap-in to give us another good win over a team 2 levels above us.
Goals: Miku (4,41) Petersen (58) Brennan (75) Miku-Zidane (79) MOTM: Ramirez.
Team Talk: We can now look forward to tonights 3rd round draw in the RR Cup, It's been a while since we reach this far and only the 2nd time in 7 seasons since the format change.
