Season 53 (04.05.14/31.05.14)

[July Fourth]

Champions League Group F Round 5: Hansa Rostock 2-5 July Fourth

Kusama (9,55) Pucknall (31) Swiderski (74) Benayoun (77) Lamb (80) Miku-Zidane (83) MOTM: Benayoun.

This was a interesting battle between the 2 sides once again, Kusama scored early when we got a chance then Pucknall equalised for Hansa Rostock and it wasn't until after the 2nd half Kusama put us back infront from a Petersen corner. Swiderski then pulled Hansa Rostock level once again on 74 minutes and it looked like another draw was going to happen between the 2 teams, But Benayoun showed his class once again by scoring another free-kick and Papaleo squared up for Lamb for 4-2 and then Benayoun found Miku-Zidane to wrap it up for us.

Group winners and through to the last 16.

League Round 9: Supap FC 0-4 July Fourth

Allen (9) Regal (46) Miku-Zidane (81) Papaleo (88) MOTM: Allen.

We decided to test out whether Allen can effectively play up front as a lone striker role or not and straight away Allen scored with a counter attack break to beat the defence and score past the keeper. We did have more chances from Allen in the first half at trying to beat defenders and getting a shot wide as well, We got another goal when Allen forced a corner at the start of the 2nd half, Petersen crossed in and Regal headed in, As the game was running toward's the end we made changes, Miku-Zidane scored a volley on 81 minutes and Papaleo with a late solo effort made it 4-0 after coming on for the MOTM winner Allen.

Hatsune Miku moves onto 498 appearances for July Fourth after todays games and could well make appearance 500 tomorrow if Miku appears in both matches.
