1st Leg Cup Quarterfinals

As you can probably see, a very odd formation to even be able to put a team on the field today. Our opponent chose to play a straight 4-5-1, and we have the material to put up with the same formation, but we have too many injured players to be able to do it. I tried to make the best of the situation, but it was not quite enough. Sure, you'll surely be pleased with a 2-1 defeat away from home. We must not forget that our opponents leads his league by far, and is one level higher than us. If We avoid new injuries on important players, than maybe we can turn this around in our rematch in two days. But it does not look bright. Ball possession was 52-48 to him, and shots on goal was even (5-5) But he got a free-kick in the 75'th minute and converted. Just as Zlatan did for us in the begining. Tough game as I predicted. I think our cup adventure ends with the Devil. He was very active and changed formation during the game. He must have thought that I'm totally dumb who use an invalid tactic in such important game. But I simply didn't have many healthy players available.
