FC AYRON 1-3 Julio Quatro Champions League Round of 16, 1st Leg.

A raining evening in Turkey caused the pitch to play a little soggy and not a pefect surface but it was still in good condition, FC AYRON would have to be upto the job and playing at a high level if they were to upset the strong favourites for the Champions League, They started the game well when Jesus Tapia put them infront after 9 mins, Julio Quatro were slow all the first half as Declan O'Riordan played a fine game in defence for FC AYRON. It was going to take some class for Julio Quatro to win this game and it was no other than Alex Zidane doing just what he did in the league game earlier and grabbed the equaliser, 2 minutes later and he sent Papaleo through for the equaliser and that makes 25 goals this season for the striker, equalling Kevin Mensah as top-scorer, Zidane continued to run the show in attack for Julio Quatro and another moment of genius play seen him spot L.McNamara in an advanced position and Zidane played the pass and L.McNamara found the net, Zidane could of had his second moments later but the keeper pulled off a great save, but with a 3-1 lead going into the second leg at Islington Park, I can't see anywhere back from FC AYRON from here.

Strange thing here, Declan O'Riordan was rated 9 for the home side but the MOTM was Zidane even though he only got an 8.
