KVC FC 2-3 LONDON CITY

For the first time in four seasons, City have won their first game of the season. Today's cup match in Turkey was a close affair. Three times we took the lead, but on two occasions, our hosts equalised. Vener Chekmarev opened the scoring with a fine solo effort after 18 minutes. The score remained at 1-0 until the interval. Wilcox equalised for KVC on 50. Jake Brown restored our lead six minutes later, finishing off a move by Jacob Wilkinson. Straight from the restart, Kozan again equalised for the home side. The score remained locked at 2-2, and we were happily settling for a draw and two away goals, when Wayne Dixon produced some magic and set up an easy tap in for Wilkinson as the match went into added time.

GOAL STATS: Chekmarev 18, Wilcox 50, Brown 56, Kozan 57, Wilkinson 90.
