A narrow league win that was too close for comfort, against lower half team. After a scoreless first period, we took the lead through Seamus Flanagan after 52 minutes. Jonathon equalised shortly after, but Flanagan restored our lead on 82. Naturally, Flanagan again scooped m.o.m.
CUP: LONDON CITY 1-1 COLOGNE BUCKS
The lads did us proud tonight by holding our elustrious visitors to this first leg draw. Bucks missed a first half penalty (it went wide), and the break came with scores locked 0-0. The game carried on much like the first period, until Cologne struck what seemed to be a winner after 83 minutes. But the lads dug deep and conjured up an equaliser for Flanagan on 86 minutes. We can go into the 2nd leg with our heads held high.
Daily summary. With thoughts on tonight's big cup game, we fielded a somewhat shadow team for today's league match, and nearly paid a costly price.
The cup match was a different story. With all the star players returning, we gave a fantastic performance against the best team left in the competition. The stats of both teams hardly compare. We are level 8, with av quality of 58.3 and team value of 252M. Cologne are level 11, with av quality of 70.4, and team value of 465M. It was strange though to play against a team with Angela Merkel as a central defender.
