Season 64

[Bluebird Hewitt]

Following a tight first leg of the Cup and both managers in attendance, Rhondda Rovers lost 1-0 at home to Lvl 4 Samsunspor:





Rhondda Rovers needed a strong showing to turn the game around against a team boasting six 6* and one 7* players. In a match where plenty of shots were made but only 6 hit the barn door, Rhondda Rovers turned it around and prevailed 2-1 away in another very tight game with both managers in attendance, meaning progression into the next round on the away goal rule.





Questions had to be raised of the opposing managers substitutions however, as he replaced two of their 6* players early on with a 4* and 3* for no real reason.
