Cup: Buffs FC are put out by Avantgarde after a 3-0 loss in Russia. Buffs had decided to go for it and lined up in a 3-1-2-2-2 with the Russians opting for 5-3-1-1. Buffs pressed in the first hals but couldn't break through and were hit by a sucker punch in 32 mins just as the home Manager took his seat in the dugout. At half time, with 2 goals needed but a Striker and AMC still injured, the options for Buffs Mad were limited. He urged his players to up the intensity. Sensing blood the Russians bolstered their attach and goals in 66 and 72 secured a 3-0 win. Strangely, or perhaps refreshingly, Buffs Mad was pleased with the effort. "We didn't have a failure in the team - we just didn't hit the heights that our opponents did."
