OTTOMANS 1453 2-1 July Fourth
Benayoun (8)
Selcuk (16) Chukanov (43) MOTM:
Lemfeld
Well... We lost it!!! We got off to a flyer too when Allen got through on goal and passed to Benayoun to give us the early advantage, However the rest of the game belonged to OTTOMANS who played outstanding and fought a hard earned win against us... Their equaliser came from a corner shortly afterwards with a Sneijder corner finding Selcuk, Then July Fourth were struggling to create anything and OTTOMANS had more chances and Chukanov made the decisive move on goal and scored a killer goal just before HT. July Fourth were stunned at this stage and didn't really know how to fight back and it wasn't until the closing stages we had chances to equalise with Tendulkar, Allen, Miku-Zidane and Petersen all firing shots over the bar from long range and Lemfeld kept winning vital tackles and kept making blocks and this earned him the MOTM award...
July Fourth lose unbeaten record this season and more importantly lost the Champions League and also the chance of the 10th treble. Our only consolation is that we won our first ever "Little Double" combination this season (League + Cup).
A fine season ruined by a disappointing Champions League Final, But frankly we were beaten by the better team today, OTTOMANS deserved to win today and congratulations to them.
Fun Fact: The last time July Fourth were beaten in any final was this time last year when we faced LIVERPOON FT in the CL Final and we lost that game on a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw.
