The big match. Could Rangers pull off the cup upset to advance to the round of 16?
All looked good at halftime, as the match remained scoreless. Both sides had opportunities but nobody could capitalize. In the 49th minute SV Eckerncamp scored to make it 1-0 (2-2) changing the complexion of the game. Now we needed a goal. Alas, it was not to be. Eckerncamp added goals in the 60th and 87th minutes to put an end to our upset dreams. Disappointing, to be sure, but we put a scare into a much stronger side.

Won league match 2-0 to stay atop the tables, Kupalang continues to shine.

Pointless Champions league match, played the reserves. Jhaylton FC fighting to stay alive played hard and we gave up only our second goal of the season in CL, but still cruised to a 3-1 win.

League game against the 4th place uss sermaize. It was one of those games. Statistically, we dominated, but trailed 1-0 at halftime. Players were exhausted. Checked tactics - thought I'd mis-set to whole pitch/hard tackling. Nope. Sent in two fresh players and changed formations. ST berezin gets two goals (55', 68') and things are looking noral again .. but then two swift goals for sermaize and we're trailing 3-2 .... prior to this game we'd given up three TOTAL goals in league (2 in CL, 7 in cup) Marzuki evened it up in the 84th, but despite pouring in everything we had nothing else would go through and we settled for a shocking draw and for the first time all season, we're trailing on the league tables.

On our way to Portugal tomorrow for a match against our friend, primary competitor and current table leader Nut FC.
