Batigo United 1-2 July Fourth

Batigo United 131.3 4-4-2 Classic - July Fourth 136.4 3N-4-1-2 then 70 minutes 3N-1-4-2

Another close encounter as you would expect between these 2 teams and we got off to a good start in the game with Pietropaolo sprinting behind the defence and finishing it if to give us the lead, we were on the front foot and Beckett's free kick was saved for a corner, Petersen crossed it in and Papaleo arrived late in the box to finish it for 2-0, Batigo then got back into the game and after a good bit of defending from Calavicci as you would expect, Khalinbekov on a counter got pasted our defence and blasted it in off the bar, Batigo had another chance early in the second half from the double corner situation with Knight catching the ball to keep us infront, Batigo were the better team in the second and Calavicci and Ramirez both had to work hard cutting everything out and clearing everything, Figueredo and Khalinbekov both could of scored for Batigo before Miku-Zidane blasted a late effort for us over the bar.

Goals: Pietropaolo (18) Papaleo (26) Khalinbekov (38) MOTM: Calavicci.

Team Talk: A good result for us tonight and this should set us up for qualification to the semi-finals but there is still work for us to do in the 2nd leg since our advantage isn't big. Also I thought on this performance that this game should of been a draw so I can't complain with the win.
