League Round 13 - Fight To The End

KARAKARTAL 2-4 July Fourth

KARAKARTAL 133.9 ND the 4-1-3N-1-1 - July Fourth 143.5 Dandelion

We faced the 3rd place team away today in the league and they were only 3 points behind us going into the game meaning that they were still very much in the hunt but were rank outsiders to challenge for the title here, but they showed their worthy early on by taking the lead when Silva shot low past Knight, But July Fourth didn't take long to get the equaliser when Bourdif gave away a penalty in which Papaleo safely dispatched from 12 yards, But KARAKARTAL struck again with a Cargill lay-off to Takahashi for a fine finish and July Fourth needed another equaliser and it was Pietropaolo finding Miku who made no mistake beating the keeper and we were at 2-2 @ HT. The 2nd half was kind of dull and not a lot happened, But just as the game was drawing to a close and looking like another frustrating draw was on the cards, Miku once again with a magic touch sent it past the keeper for what would be the winner and right at the end we won a corner and Petersen crossed that in for Kusama to header it in to make the 3 points safe.

Goals: Silva (28) Papaleo (34 PEN) Takahashi (40) Miku (43,86) Kusama (90) MOTM: Papaleo.

Team Talk: The win means we will top the table at halfway by at least GD, les guerriers will probably beat zzzfffrrr later on though, But after halfway and some mixed performances from us, I think we can be quite satisfied with the current situation in the league.
