Fc RonnyBonny 2-3 July Fourth Champions League Semi-Final 2nd Leg, July Fourth Win 4-2 on Aggregate
Fc RonnyBonny 92.2 4-4-1-1 - July Fourth 100.0 4-5-1 V-Style
July Fourth are through to fridays final to play either PERSIBAS or Kalex fc after a well fought out 3-2 win over 10 man Fc RonnyBonny, Papaleo created an excellent chance for July Fourth in the 13th minute and looking certain to score Papaleo scooped the shot over the bar, There was a challenge Recalde on Papaleo just afterwards and he was given the yellow card, he took no notice of that moments later when he fouled Mensah and he was given his second yellow for his marching orders, however this did not stop 10 man RonnyBonny from taking the fight to the much fancied July Fourth and they scored from a Berrebat cross that found De Luz's head to effectively bring the tie level, Just before half-time L.McNamara turned the defender and beat the keeper and scored that important away goal for July Fourth, Then after the restart Hayatmanesh scored from out of knowhere to give RonnyBonny a 2-1 lead in the second leg (July Fourth lead on away goals at this point), Then Zidane who is our big game performer popped out from the right wing with the ball and and shot low and hard, RonnyBonny's manager then made a mistake, he took off the left defender and put on another striker but this left him with no player on the left side and then without realising that he was in a illegal formation, Papaleo and Zidane were attacking the open flank that RonnyBonny left open, and Papaleo just outside the area was fouled and July Fourth appealed for a penalty but got a free-kick on the edge of the box and Kevin Mensah struck it looping over the wall and into the goal to seal July Fourth's place in the final on Friday. We then took off L.McNamara and Novotny off the field of play to protect them from getting any yellow card. Zidane and Mensah continued to lead the attack for July Fourth but nothing came of it and Mensah was booked for a silly challenge but he is not on a yellow so he will play the final.
I would like to congratulate the RonnyBonny manager for turning up for both legs of the Semi-Final and attempting to fight against our strength and try and turnover our strong team, It was a pleasure to play against an active manager for once over 2 legs in the CL and not someone that looks at my team and waves the white flag before the games.
Goals: Da Luz (40) L.McNamara (45) Hayatmanesh (46) Zidane (54) Mensah (76) MOTM: L.McNamara.
