July Fourth 142.6 4-5-1 V - IGDIR CITY 127.9 4-1-3W-2

A unexpected difficult game for us here as IGDIR CITY unexpectedly rose to the challenge of July Fourth in the return game this evening after we beat them 4-0 2 days ago. We had early chances and with an unexpected incident saw IGDIR get us on the counter with Serhat squaring off for Bankert to finish it, July Fourth needed some inspiriation and it came unexpectedly from Watson on 33 minutes after dribbling by a defender and finishing it to put us level, Miku-Zidane missed an opportunity just before HT to put us ahead. The IGDIR defence were tough and playing in a 4-1-3W-2 formation is always tough to break down, But Watson completed a fine solo hatrick after a couple of fine moves on 53 minutes when scored from off the bar and 54 minutes when he scored from 25 meters, However Serhat for IGDIR city brought them back into the game on 58 minutes, It finished 3-2 to us, but IGDIR had plenty of chances to level up late which included the double corner but we held on to win.

Goals: Bankert (13) Watson (33,53,54 HAT) Serhat (58) MOTM: Watson.

Team Talk: We have safely qualified for the knockout stages with 2 games to spare once again and only have to avoid defeat in the return against QPR on Friday to win the group.
4-5-1 v style against 4-1-3w-2 I have trouble with it. In my case works 4-4-2 better.
