The Saturday Report.
LGE: SHAZZY B 0-3 LONDON CITY
This win wasn't as comfortable as the scoreline suggests. Our lower half of the table opponents, put up a spirited performance. Hector Morgada relieved some of the anxiety by scoring twice (19 & 39), before the break. Five minutes after the restart, Morgada picked up an ankle strain and we had to reshuffle the pack. It remained 2-0 until the dying moments when Rudolph Mueller (86), gave the scoreline a much better look. In an eventful day for Morgada, he was chosen as MOM.
CL: LONDON CITY 3-2 KURDISTAN FC.
Another uncomfortable match for our group topping team, against the pointless visitors. Kurdistan shocked the home supporters by taking a 12th minute lead. Teddy King equalised with a header from debutant, Paul Edmond's corner, on 18, and that's how it remained until the half time break. Aaron Martin scored our second headed goal, again from a corner, this time from Dave Kennedy, after 58 minutes, to give us the lead. But again our opponents gave us a nasty shock, with an equaliser of their own, with just 10 minutes left on the clock. There was just enough time for Edmonds to grab a vital winner, in stoppage time. Defender, Justin Harold claimed the MOM award.
The league win, keeps us still joint top of the league with 2 other teams, with 4th place just a point behind. The Champions League win gives us 9 points from the 3 games played, so hopefully, a win in our next natch, should make progressing from the group, almost a certainty.
On the downside, the injury to Morgada, although fairly minor, it will sideline him for 3 days. But worse still, reserve 'keeper, Vladen Pajovic suffered a cruciate ligament strain in tonight's training, and will be out for 6 days. The rest of training was immediately cancelled.
