HEADLINE: Balkan Boyz pulls off a dramatic win despite 1 man down.....


This was perhaps one of the most dramatical game that was played today as the T11 CUP kicked off. The game against "Bocaboca FC" had more drama then a spanish soap opera. We started off pretty bad, having Mario Mandžukić sent off and being 1 goal down. But Miroslav Stevanović put us back on track as we got the equalizer 5 minutes later and the leading goal short after that. A quick tactical and formational switch (from 4-3-3 to 4-4-1) got us back on the right path and we started to get the game under controll. 9minutes later, we got Miralem Pjanić injured and I was forced to make the 3rd and last substitution. Bocaboca FC kept pushing forward, but our defence did well. As the game went on, we controlled more and more possesion and we managed to score a 3rd goal (Edin Džeko). At this time, the game was more or less over and the opposite manager started to panic and pushed all forward, but didn't manage to create any dangerous goal-scoring opportunities and the victory was ours!

The return tomorrow will be a nailbiter, but I expect a win or a draw. The suspension of Mandžukić and the injury on Pjanić will not have any bigger impact as we have good replacements at disposal.
