The most recent seating expansion in the stadium was finished today, just in time for back-to-back home matches.

League Update:

Ninjaa FC won at home 2-0 against a team with an illegal formation (but good defense) when the manager was sleeping. Casserly and Kalaei were the goal scorers. Kalaei finally scored his first goal in over a week that wasn't from him taking a FK or PK. It was still the result of a FK, as it happened right after an opponent was booked, but Post was given credit for an assist, and Post is the left-side FK taker.

CL update:

Ninjaa FC finished off the group stage with a 9-0 win against the bottom team in the group. All 11 backups started the game, but they started slow with only a 1-0 lead at the half, so Kalaei and Alonso were subbed in. Kalaei's leadership (he took over as captain when subbed in) seems to have had an impact, as Gomez Zarco almost immediately scored a solo goal. In the end, Kalaei accounted for a goal (PK) and an assist, while Alonso contributed 2 assists, and Gomez Zarco had 4 goals and 1 assist. Gomez Zarco almost tied the club record of 5 goals in 1 match, but he was tripped in the box in the 85th minute, leading to Kalaei scoring on the PK.

Recent power training on specific players appears to be paying off, as Kalaei's skill point from MOTM in the league match pushed him to 7 stars. Senese (signed just a few days ago) has already gained 3 quality since joining the club, and if I keep pushing him, he may hit 7 stars before the season is over, despite him coming in as a 5 star. Last season, Tiofack was a slow trainer, but this season he's one of the fastest trainers, and has already gained 4 quality without any green packs being spent on him.
