Cup Semi-Final, 1st Leg: FC SPIRTIS 1-5 July Fourth Kundsen (45) Kusama (47,83) Miku-Zidane (63) Regal (86) Benayoun (89) MOTM: Shepherd.
Our opponents pulled of the shock of the tournament in the last round putting out El Capo and after a close 45 minutes they took another shock lead with Kundsen scoring on the stroke of HT, However July Fourth's HT team talk changed the momentum of the tie and Kusama immediately levelled after the restart, Then Miku-Zidane put us into the lead on 63 minutes with a solo effort. Then in the last 10 minutes July Fourth's strength showed in the end as Kusama (from a Petersen corner) , Regal (from a Martin cross) and Benayoun (from a free-kick) all scored late goals to end this Cup tie as a contest. Other semi-final score: Red Devil 2-1 LaFruta.
League Round 20: LaFruta 2-2 July Fourth Martin (2) Johnson (14) Papaleo (45) Abdelnade (63) MOTM: Petersen. S/O: Miku (30).
I was away from this game and to be fair I wasn't too concerned about the draw here. We are still 11 points clear in the league and yeah this is a game that is normally a tough one for us anyways. We did take the lead on 2 minutes from Martin, But I presume their equaliser came from a corner as Wall assisted Johnson to score on 14 minutes. We lost Miku to a straight red card (brilliant when I'm trying to get Miku to 500 career appearances before retirement. Being in the clear in the league is a good opportunity to play Miku.) Despite that Papaleo put us back into the lead on the stroke of HT, Then LaFruta levelled up again with Abdelnade and then they made substitutions as they looked to try and find a winner which in the end never came and it ended in a 2-2 draw.
Miku is currently on 480 appearances for July Fourth now and will miss the next 2 league games through suspension. Assuming Miku plays the 4 of the 6 remaining league games eligible to play and also the 2nd leg of the Cup SF against FC SPIRTIS, Miku should end this season on 485 appearances.
