July Fourth 3-0 Kocaspor46
July Fourth 136.6 4-4-2 Classic then 75 minutes 4-2N-3W-1 - Kocaspor46 4-1-2-3
A game that was completely dominated by July Fourth from pretty much start to finish and we got into the lead straight away from a 20 meters shot from Petersen, We continued to create chances mainly through Watson and Papaleo and had enough chances to have put the tie out of our opponents sight but we were wasteful, Thankfully in the second half we were just as good at creating chances and although Beckett had a free-kick blocked and Watson missed a sitter, Kusama who is having a quiet season so far suddenly sprung to life with a good solo run on the hour to double our lead, He also made it 3-0 with 74 minutes on the clock, Substitute Miku also nearly scored from distance but it was saved and there was a couple of late chances for Kopaspor46 get an away goal late on but Ramirez won a vital tackle and Beckett blocked van Hees long shot to ensure we kept the clean sheet.
Goals: Petersen (2) Kusama (60,74) MOTM: Kusama.
Team Talk: Although we squandered many chances in this semi-final 1st leg, If I was offered 3-0 at the beginning I probably would of taken this scoreline because I believe this result should be enough to see us through the 2nd away without too much difficulty. Who we play in the final has also become an interesting question now after Milk FC beat vigo teis futbol 3-1 earlier, I'm still expecting to play against vigo teis futbol on Friday despite that shock result.
