Season 56

[Alfyan]

Since I enjoy reading all your daily matchday reports I decide to join in starting today

Cup: Galatico FC came to the away 2nd leg of the cup Playoff match after the 2-2 scoreline at home in the first leg. They know they have their work cut out in order to advance against the opponent who is two levels ahead but has a default squad of 3* 30+ year olds (To him) which came up to 5* in my level. However his team was boosted by a previous 13-0 win on their league match so are fairly confident of progressing

The Galatico's first match with the new commentary kicks off with dogged defence by the opponent but we managed to take the lead from a double corner with my left foot Striker Sandu opening the scoring on the 6th minute. The manager decides to opt for defensive mentality to maintain the lead but eventually lost the lead after the opponent scores on the 15th minute.. With a shot by his DEFENDER (assist by his MC) Unfortunately this scoreline was maintained throughout the entire match as my team struggled to break him down even after changing to attacking mentality and eventually hard attack and swapping a DMC with a AMC in the 60th minute. His defence consistently blocked all the shots I had and my FK SA defender cannot even get past the first wall as their defenders played the game of their lives. His GK saved 3 shots which from the looks of it, was a certain goal. Eventually the manager told all his MC and ST players to bomb forward with red arrows hoping to get that 2nd goal but it was to no avail. The Galaticos are once again knocked out on away goals rule. In addition, to rub salt on the wounds the opponent took out my MC on the 88th minute and receives yet another injury to add to the ever growing list. He will be absent for 12 days with a broken foot.... :/

The manager rages and kicks the water bottle away from the dug out and mutters the win bonus advantage the higher league opponent has on their players. The manager ponders on another opportunity to progress missed as the opposition manager didn't show up for both games and Galatico's had 15% possession bonus on both grounds with support from higher level managers. It looks like winning the triple crown will once again have to wait another season.
