Champions League - FINAL
LaFruta 2-2 Seventh Heaven
7H Win 4-2 On Penalties
LaFruta 157.7 3N-2W-3N-2 - 7H 162.9 4-4-1-1 - 75 minutes X-mas tree
A very close and intense final similar to last seasons final, only this one was more close, We started a little bit on the back foot but soon got our noses infront when we won a corner with Petersen crossing in for Harrison to score with a header, Chavez was playing well though for LaFruta and after missing a couple of chances he eventually got the equaliser for LaFruta just before HT, We then had more defending to do at the second half and saved a free-kick from Chavez and Rodrigo de Oliveira put a shot wide before Kusama and Petersen had shots blocked for us, Joo almost put LaFruta ahead from a corner before a major break through came on 72 minutes when Hardy gave away a free-kick, Chavez crossed it in and Rodrigo de Oliveira headed in to put LaFruta into the lead, Then we changed formations slightly bringing on Tendulkar, Kusama had an attempt on target but it was saved, before Papaleo eventually had a late charge forward with the ball in the 85th minute and took a shot on goal and it beat the keeper to make it 2-2, Perhaps unfortunate for LaFruta who were the better team in the game to be fair, ET saw both sides share the chances, Miku came on and had a shot saved and Tendulkar blasted one over the bar while Chavez and Rodrigo de Oliveira both had chances each to win it for LaFruta but no goal came and we were into penalties, Beech saved Mohammed's Pen and Papaleo put us 1up, Then Joo fired over the bar for LaFruta and all the remaining penalties were scored in the shootout with Miku (on 100th Career CL Game) scoring the winning penalty for us to win the Champions League for 7H.
Goals: Harrison (18) Chavez (43) Rodrigo de Oliveira (72) Papaleo (85) MOTM: Petersen.
Pens: Mohammed (No) Joo (No) Chavez (Yes) Rodrigo de Olivera (Yes) Papaleo (Yes) Petersen (Yes) Kusama (Yes) Miku (Yes)
So we are delighted with the Champions League win, But I think LaFruta perhaps deserved to win tonight to be fair, they played the better attacking football and were not afraid of us. We now just need to win the final league match tomorrow to complete the League+CL Double.
