Pleasant and unpleasant surprises
Yesterday's games brought mixed and quite unexpected results. Berkshire Utd won 5-0 in the league and is now 3rd, trailing the top-team by 3 points. FC Dreamhunter lost unexpectedly at home against the 2nd placed team 0-1 (it was the first loss ever against this team) and is now 2nd, one point behind. So everything is wide open for both teams.
Teresa FC drew 1-1 in the league against a weaker team, but is still one point ahead of the league as our strongest competitor lost his game. Our team must have been too tired after the 2-2 away-draw in the Cup against a stronger team. I did not expect such a good result. We scored the first goal, then fell 1-2 behind. But in the 83rd minute we scored the equalizer. So - maybe we really can surprise and advance!
FC Sakura won convincingly 5-1 against the team which ranks 4th in the league and is second (same points like the leader, goal difference is worse by 2). In the Cup we won at home 1-0 against the best team - if this result will be enough to secure a spot in the next round we will know in two days...
In tonight's CL-games Berkshire and Sakura will play with the substitutes as we are already 1st in our groups. Dreamhunter and Teresa will have to win resp. draw in order to stay ahead and to avoid difficult games in the next round.
