Academy FC played their third match yesterday (2nd league game) and, with a mess of substitues and reserves, managed a 2-0 victory over Zaraki FC. I was unable to watch, but the game recap is short. Nothing in the first half, opening gaol in the 70th minute, second goal in the 78th minute (both assisted by my lone ST). One injury for Zaraki in the 82nd minute, then full-time was called.

Having managed to win all 3 matches yesterday, today's lone CL match is a nice break. I woke up and decided I'd train my players a bit. Set the training to normal and trained cardio and stretching. Went back and set the first squad intensity to rest and then trained a practice match. Like an IDIOT, I didn't swap my starters and reserves . . . and my starting keeper suffered an injury in the practice match :-( He's now out for three days (fortunately my backup keeper is only rated 3 quality below the started and is 9 years younger).
