Day began win a terrific win in dramatic fashion. We entered the 2nd leg of the cup trailing 2:1 on aggregate. We came out of the gates strong with a 22nd minute goal from David Rodriguez. Rodriguez would add another one in 32nd minute, with a Anthony Djabour goal sandwiched in-between. Our opponent made his first substitution in the 38th minute, with another goal coming a minute later. We entered half-time with a 3:1 advantage. We added another goal on a long range effort from George Mariettakis that was miscued into the net by the keeper for a 4:1 advantage. We seemed well on our way to the QTR-finals before some late minute drama, resulting from conceding in the 81st minute. The defense buckled down as the opponent pushed for the decisive goal, seeing us through 5:4 on aggregate.
League, we've moved 4 points clear of 2nd behind a 11:0 thrashing of one of the leagues minnows and the previous 2nd place squad being upset 1:0. We're 10-2-0 so far.
Champions: Finished the group on 13 points...
Although things have started strong, several daunting challenges still await us as the cup has several of strong teams at my level remaining in addition to some potent level 10 teams (i'm level 9). In the champions league, if we are to win it, we most likely have to go through the best team on the server; a token buyer with power support.
Regarding the cup QTRfinal draw. Good news is the opponent always plays through the middle and has no flanks threats. Bad news is the only player if poor form is the goal keeper and its a higher level manager with a 5 star team for their level. Needless to say, we should be a sizable underdog!
