Champions League: Buffs FC were thrashed 5-1 in the 2nd leg of their CL Semi.

Having been behind 2-1 from the first leg Buffs Mad was determined to try to stay in the tie and have a go.

Again Buffs Mad sent out his boys in a Defensive Counterattacking 4-5-1V against the opposition 4-3W-1-2 - partly due to 'philosophy and belief' and partly due to suspension and injury.

The Buffs went 2 behind in the first 21 mins but tried to stay in contention. A slight modificatio in orders was made after 30 mins. The Buffs pulled one back at the start of the second half and further changes were made. When it went to 3-1 down on the 66th min radical changes were called for to go 'All-in', although they went a further goal behind before the sub got on. Alas it was a futile gesture and the opposition closed out a convincing win with a 5th in 88 mins.

Buffs Mad said after wards "The score reflected a resoundind defeat but I remain proud of my lads in fighting all the way against a higher quality opponent."

Note: Formation shifts included from 4-5-1V to 4-1-4-1 to 4-4-1-1 at various points as the Buffs chased the game.

Goals For: Baxter (49).
