Champions League Group H Round 3
Steaua 2-2 July Fourth
Steaua 139.3 4-3W-1-2 - July Fourth 147.8 4-5-1 V, then 4-1-1-2W-2 then 4-DMC-3WAM-2
At the moment July Fourth are struggling with the pressure of being labelled the highest quality team on the server, still getting many draws and defeats against far inferior opposition, We were under pressure early from Steaua, They had a clear shot on goal wide before converting from a corner with Chipciu getting the header into the back of the net, then July Fourth soon responded with an excellent solo goal from Petersen after he made his way past the defence and got the equaliser for us, Steaua were the better team in the remainder of the first half, missing more chances to score, 2nd half we struggled even more, we just couldn't find top gear and when we did it was near the end of the game, Benayoun played a cross in for Papaleo to header in for what would be appear for a late winner, but there was still time for Steaua to equalise from a 'double corner' with Ronaldo crossing in for Slatina to make it 2-2.
Goals: Chipciu (12) Petersen (20) Papaleo (87) Slatina (90) MOTM: Petersen.
Team Talk: Well... let's face it the way this game went a draw can only been seen as a good result as we were simply 2nd best for most of this game, we hope to do better in the return game in 2 days time at home. The current situation in the group doesn't look too good either now.
