Champions League Semi-Final, 1st Leg
ОФН 1-5 July Fourth
ОФН 144.9 4-1DMC-3WAM-2 then 3-1DMC-3WAM-3 - July Fourth 150.1 4-1-3W-2 then 4-1-4-1 then 4-5-1 V
We played the current "server" champions if you like to call it that and we expected a tough game but our best players tonight were simply at their best, We set out a counter attacking style of play since they like to have many players in advanced positions after 15 minutes of ОФН doing the pressing July Fourth took the lead after Watson laid off for Papaleo to strike it past the keeper for the lead, Papaleo almost made it 2-0 5 mins late, We were again doing some defending but whatever they threw at us Lamb and Calavicci were just prepared for anything that they threw at us, We switched to the 4-1-4-1 early in the second half and we produced more goals, Petersen scored from distance and Papaleo ran right through the defence for another attempt on goal and slotted it past the keeper, ОФН then threw another man forward in an attempt to rescue the tie, It appeared to work at first when they got a goal back when Machlas passed to Makukula to shoot in off the bar, but it was short lived as Lamb struck from 30 meters to restore our 3 goal lead and also there was time for a Petersen corner it came in and Papaleo headed in for a hat-trick.
Goals: Papaleo (15,56,82 HAT) Petersen (53) Lamb (74) Makukula (66) MOTM: Papaleo.
Team Talk: Another wonderful performance by our team when it was needed, I thought we would have a tough night against ОФН, but the we played tonight, we looked unstoppable. So barring unexpected failures or fightbacks, we should in both finals this season.
League Round 21 Result: dani 2-4 July Fourth We fielded a semi strong side to face dani earlier this evening, Watson did put us into the lead but Fabiyi and Avantaggiato turned it around for dani before Hogan,Petersen and Benayoun won us the game.
