We got off to the perfect start in this Semi-Final, citing that we would like to try and win this tie in the first leg with Papaleo on a counter attack with winning the ball from Isco ran with it and curled it around the keeper to give us the lead immediately, Isco again commited a foul but Benayoun blasted the free-kick over the bar, It wasn't to prove too costly as Kusama next with a powerful shot found the back of the net, Petersen kept having shots blocked in the remainder of the first half and Ronaldo for Zamo Vigo was tackled from the experienced veteran Calavicci, We weren't creating too much so eventually decided that we needed a slight change and we threw on Miku for Watson, Shifting Miku-Zidane to the left and switched formations slightly after Zamo Vigo made a bright start to the second half in Ronaldo was applying all the pressure again but Regal was equal to it, We eventually won a free-kick after Bale mistimed his tackle and Benayoun fired it over the wall and into the goal for his 20th of the season, Benayoun shortly had another free-kick and once again got it on target and it was saved for the expense of a corner, that corner turned into another goal from us as Petersen crossed in for Lenoil to header in for 4-0, Now we were in control and were still creating chances from Miku and Benayoun but the scoreline remained at 4-0 to the end.
Goals: Papaleo (2) Kusama (16) Benayoun (61) Lenoil (67) MOTM: Calavicci.
Team Talk: I couldn't be more delighted with the teams performance here and the result justifies it, we can rest any yellow carded players here so we don't get any unwanted suspensions for the final.
