July Fourth won their 7th Champions League title after another vintage display in the final following yesterdays 5-0 Cup Final win over erster FC Puma, we were a little nervous with the possiblity of the 3rd consecutive treble and also the Nordeus gremlins that have been going around recently after a 2-2 draw we had in league earlier which we nearly lost with Besiktas putting the penalty over the bar in the 90th minute, July Fourth set the team up to exploit the Kalex FC weakness up, there defence and we decided to play with attacking mentality, Straight away into this final, A yellow card for Utkin ment that Kevin Mensah had a free-kick but Cech saved it and it went for a Novotny corner which crossed it to find Zidane with the header for 1-0, A minute Later and our classy left winger L.McNamara took a long range shot and scored, Kalex were in trouble early on but they did get back in the final 10 minutes later with a good long range shot from Rok Zec who was the stand out player for Kalex tonight, Then a minute later Kalex won a corner and Adams headed it away, on 25 mins, Rocky took a brilliant shot from just inside the area and it beat Petr Cech, Then Mensah on 34 minutes scored with a rocket from just outside the penalty area, the match now looked as good as over and the July Fourth fans were singing and some Kalex fans had seen enough and left early, We didn't blame them because July Fourth were dominating this final like if it was an ordinary game.
The second half seen some interesting events Kalex had a couple of chances but July Fourth defended them with Adams and Vasko, Then we took control again with a Vasko shot and Cech Saved it, Papaleo on 67 minutes then ran with the ball towards the penalty area and was fouled, July Fourth appealed for a penalty, Helminger got a yellow card and Mensah had a free-kick and missed it completely, Zidane next was able to get forwardand the Kalex defenders backed off him to give him enough space to curl it around Petr Cech and make it 5-1 and it was game over now, Savage had a shot blocked, then Zidane chasing a hatrick got into the box but was tackled superby by Krol, Then Rocastle had another attempt at goal but Zec blocked it, Utkin made a foul on Mensah and he saw red for a second yellow, then Mensah's free-kick struck the cross bar, In the final minute Zec had a chance for his brace and a Kalex consolation and it was blocked by Robbie Savage, Final whistle goes and July Fourth win the "Treble" Treble, by winning the Cup, League and Champions League each in their last 3 seasons, The MOTM went to Rocky on the right midfield by supplying Zidane and also getting a fine goal himself. The fans cheered as Stacey Papaleo lifted the trophy despite not really being in the game. It was players like Zidane, L.McNamara and Rocky that made this happen today.
