LONDON CITY 2-2 JUVE FC

We got our first home point of the season today, JUST. Having lost our previous two home matches, things really seemed to be carrying on in the same vein. The first half produced nothing of significance, and ended 0-0. Nine minutes into the second period, Emilio Santos fouled the opposing attacker on the edge of the box, resulting in a yellow card for him, and a goal for the visitors. Santos was again warned by the referee shortly after, leading to him being replaced by fellow MC, Vener Chekmarev. Sani Negedu found the net for an equaliser, with twenty minutes to play. Juve again took the lead on 79', and a minute later, Negedu also received a booking. Another home defeat looked odds on, but in added on time, Jack Daniels swung over a corner, which Chekmarev met powerfully with his head, to grab us a last gasp point. Jack Daniels was subsequently rewarded with man of the match.

The point didn't stop us from slipping back one place, to 6th, with 10 points. Tomorrow we travel to Azerbaijan, to play table toppers, Ibrahim (15 pts), who we dramatically beat in the championship race, two seasons ago.
