Champions League: Bali United ZAFT continues their recovery with a fine win at home in their Champions League Round of 16 2nd leg against Albania's Dream Team. The Tridatu Soldiers won comfortably 3-0, using a 4-3-2w-1 formation that I could describe as a "gambit" (since my flanks didn't play well lately). Minyu "Sakina" Wu, Karin Kikuhara, and Kira "Jesus" Yamato were the scorers of that match, with Yuna Oshiro getting the Man of the Match award for his efforts in the back line. My flanks (Jesus Yamato and Lennon Takeo) got 7 and 7 respectively, much to my relief.

Winning 4-1 on aggregate, Bali United advances to the quarterfinals, where MrDheitoRVL FC of Germany awaits. The opponents are leaders of their own league with a much more impressive record than I do - 16 games, 14 wins, 2 draws, 0 defeats. Yikes.

Another 4-3n-3. Great, just what we needed.

League: The revival of form continues in the league as well. Facing off against 4th placed Vha FC at Tanjung, Bali United ZAFT went back home with three hard-fought points. Using the same formation as we did against M150 FC, we bombarded Vha FC's defense with a multitude of shots, yet the home team's defensive capabilities denied each shot that we threw at them. Thankfully a breakaway from Karin Kikuhara on the 79th minute earns us the all important goal that we needed. Our victory also came at a heavy cost, though - Shinn Asuka is out for two days.

Once again someone in the defense got MoTM - Namfah Yui-lue. He denied a number of chances that Vha FC got, preventing their 3-man attack force from endangering Fabian Delano Kurnia's goal.

Next up for us is the 1st leg of the CL QF against MrDheitoRVL FC!
