Football 101
In an almost exhibition football performance, Pikachu SPFC put 5 past a hapless Los Galaxy in a surprisingly one-sided league encounter.

While Pikachu showed their home crowd a lesson on attacking football, the visiting Galaxy defensive display was one aspiring footballers should learn not to execute.

It was 3-0 by halftime and a shell-shocked Los Galaxy started the second half primarily to limit the damage. They were unable to prevent the hosts from scoring another two but it could have been worst. Pikachu stepped down a gear after the fifth but even a consolation goal was beyond the visitors.

AVALANCHE have hit the summit of Conference B
Despite numerous 'troll results' earlier in the season against outsiders, AVALANCHE have managed to finally climb to 1st place in the league table, A 3-1 win over Marvel's rogue Tomason account sent us to the top of the league, We did win a penalty early on and missed it and you would think it was going to be another one of those matches but 2 quickfire goals from Gonzalez and Dalkiran gave us a 2-0 lead on 17 minutes, Tomason had their fair share chances of getting back in the game and missed them and Castro pulled off a couple of important saves for us, We then killed the game off with a Donaghue free-kick on 58 minutes and moved in a couple of substitutes, Tomason did eventually get one back from Demir on 72 minutes but this proved to be too late and we get an important victory not only for ourselves but for the rest of the Conference B members.

Ezio defeat Docar Balap
Ezio completed one of the biggest upsets in FPL so far by beating a strong Docar Balap side that contained many low-end 6* players. Although Docar Balap seemed to edge this encounter, Ezio was able to withstand the pressure and counter Docar Balap on going onto score a 64th minute winner through Anderson, After that Ezio took control of the game and should of really scored a second goal. Although there is still no threat to Ezio challenging for promotion as of yet, A few more results like these could see them make a late push.

It's now 5 in a row in the league! In front of the opponent crowd, Pikachu SPFC wins against the league leader, LA Galaxy, with a surprising come back after being down by 2 goals in the first 8 minutes in the first half after being under intense pressure from LA Galaxy. At 27' mark, Pikachu SPFC scored an important goal to make it 2-1 before the half time mark.

At the beginning of the second half, at 50', Pikachu SPFC scored the equaliser, making it 2-2. They were able to keep the momentum and 8 minutes later, at 58', the match winning goal, 2-3 for Pikachu SPFC.
After that, intense pressure from the home team, but not enough to overcome the well posted defense of Pikachu SPFC.

With this important victory, Pikachu SPFC reaches 30 points in the league and equals ABBI FC (3rd) and Docar Balap (4th). The race for a spot in next season's Champions League is still open and although a little distant, the league leaders are not so far away.

Calavicci Cup: Road to Sochi (as of 3:27 ICT)
Group A
Detonator Sochi has completed their expectations by beating AVALANCHE 4-2 and 3-2 in both legs, putting them at 12 points. However, there are lots of hopes needed for them to get them a more friendly draw in the quarters. Pikachu SPFC with 6 points, must not win one of the two matches they are going to play Red Arrowana, so that they could face Gangnam Style FC instead of LA Galaxy, who has been in a strong contention since when the tournament all started. Red Arrowana with 4 points, needed to win both games against Pikachu SPFC, so they could finish 2nd with 10 points, 3 ahead of AVALANCHE, who will be out of the competition no matter what are the outcomes for both legs of the other match.

Group B
Gangnam Style has beaten Houston Dynamo 3-0, before drawing 1-1 in the returning leg. Gangnam Style has 9 points, LA Galaxy and SactoRepublic FC with 7 and 5 points respectively, has to play for their hopes. Detonator Sochi also needs to hope for LA Galaxy to go up top, in addition to the Red Arrowana vs AVALANCHE match so that they could avoid facing LA Galaxy. SactoRepublic FC has to grab 3 points on both games to moves up to the top of the group with 11 points, if LA Galaxy wins a match, they goes on top and it's a job done.

Group C
Rebaixado FC, who have lost 4 matches of the group without any goals scored and conceded 16 goals, they are already out of the competition. On the top two saws Mr Davy T with 10 points and SwatCats with 9. Los Galaxy has Rebaixado in front of them, they could easily comes up with wins on both matches. But they still need to hope that Mr Davy T won both games, so that Los Galaxy could finishes 2nd with 10 points in the group. If SwatCats lost both games, Docar Balap, who already seals top position in Group D, do not have to face tough challenge from one of the greatest team in Conference B.

Group D
With Docar Balap seals top position with 16 points, after a walkover aganist a seemingly semi-active team Nordeus Corp FC. They still need to hope that SwatCats lost both matches aganist Mr Davy T so that they could face an easier challenge aganist Los Galaxy. Vocaloid Fans FC just needed a win over ABBI FC to seals that 2nd place. If ABBI FC wanted to go through, they will need to beat Vocaloid Fans FC twice. Vocaloid Fans FC has several players in the form, while ABBI FC, who has been shocked in several occasions, must bring all players to their top form to seals the win.

Los Galaxy Boss admits qualification is beyond them

Speaking to Los High School Newsletter, the Boss conceded qualification to the knock out stages of the Calavicci Cup. He cannot foresee SwatCats suffering two losses in their final matches.

"We did ourselves no favours when we lost to Davy in the second leg. As far as the Calavicci Cup is concerned, I think we have a very, very, very, very slim chance of going through."

"The team is fighting for a promotion spot in the league so maybe it is best that we have less distraction. The players know that they have not performed as expected."

After a bright start to the season, Los Galaxy find themselves way off the top 4 spot and will have to get a good run going in order to cement a promotion spot.
