Academy FC (33.7*) played at Rubery Town (33.1*) in the 2nd leg of the Cup Playoffs this afternoon. After losing the home leg 2-3 (I was unable to attend as it was during a real life match I coached), AFC set out to prove a point and beat ANOTHER higher level team in the Cup Competition. The first half was largely uneventful, with only a couple real chances for either side. As the 2nd half ticked on, RT's manager made the first changes, subbing off his DR and ML in the 68th minute. AFC replaced a somewhat weary MC (Ferreri) to keep the attack strong. Minutes later, AFC found the back of the net to go up 1-0. RT then subbed off a tired ST. I submitted a substitution in the 81st minute to pull a DC and put another MC into the lineup (shifting from a 4-5-1V to a 3-1-3N-2-1). Shortly after, I submitted a substitution to replace my striker with a fresher striker. However, only the first substitution was made (88th minute) and the match ended in a 1-0 victory, meaning that AFC has been eliminated from the Cup based on away goals . . .
