Royal Rumble "Shark" Cup 2nd Round, 1st Leg
fc gisi 1-3 July Fourth
fc gisi 137.3 4-DMC-MC-MC-AML-2 - July Fourth 147.2 "dv8r"
We were unsure exactly what formation to play here against this asymmetrical V looking formation, Either 4-3N-3 or the dv8r sprung to mind, We eventually went with the dv8r, Watson wasted an early chance before Petersen was through on goal and instead of going for goal he squared off to Benayoun who scored his 3rd goal in as many games, Later on Petersen's corner allowed Watson to make it 2-0 before Kusama made the move of the game by beating a defender and the keeper for 3-0. After this July Fourth went to sleep, Benayoun mis-directed a few free-kicks and Papaleo missed a sitter, because of this we allowed fc gisi a chance to get back in the tie by Mousavi passing to Manzini to score at the end, Mousavi did have a good game for gisi to be said he did make our defenders work quite hard.
Goals: Benayoun (8) Watson (26) Kusama (31) Manzini (89) MOTM: Kusama.
Team Talk: A good win, but we could of done with scoring a few more to really end this as a contest, However I feel we have done enough to be in the draw for the next round.
