Champions League Quarter-Final 1st Leg
LaFruta 1-2 July Fourth
LaFruta 146.3 3N-2W-2N-2 - July Fourth 149.9 4-4-2 then ND
We knew today we were going to be up against it with our opponents power support and they brought no less than 16 other managers to help support them this afternoon and it made life difficult for us, However this didn't stop us from playing well and we looked likely early on with a chance from Papaleo but he missed it, Efthymiadis and Joo were always on the ball and Calavicci and Lamb were always there to win the tackles except when LaFruta took the lead from a corner Efthmiadis crossing in for Farouk to header it in, But July Fourth in reply found a way back from Miku-Zidane from 25 meters, There was a lot of cancelling out afterwards and Benayoun hit a free-kick over the bar and it wasn't until our tactical change to the ND we found another way through by winning a corner with Petersen crossing in for Papaleo for 2-1, LaFuta had chances to equalise and we had a last minute chance through Kusama but he couldn't make it count.
Goals: Efthmiadis (19) Miku-Zidane (25) Papaleo (70) MOTM: Calavicci.
Team Talk: We did a good job here getting a win, playing against so much power support is never easy, It will be the same in the 2nd leg.
League Round 17 Result: LEPRA FC 0-2 July Fourth A rather dull and boring league match, we couldn't break them down in the first half but in the 2nd half we scored from Pietropaolo and Petersen and we could of had a 3rd when Benayoun put his effort wide.
