Goals: Neto 23, Zola 29, Redknapp 31, Zola 57, Canobra 80.
M.o.M: Adam Zola
We started the game confidently enough, but we became jittery after the home side took the lead, midway through the first half. Two goals in the space of two minutes around the half-hour, from Adam Zola and Larry Redknapp, steadied the ship. It looked all over when Zola grabbed his second, and our third just before the hour mark. But we seem to make it hard for ourselves lately, and when Canobra reduced the margin, we had to endure a nervy final ten minutes.
Straight after the league encounter, it was a quick rush to the airport, and a flight to Israel, for our Champions League game, against the last team in the group.
Result: NADAV FC 1-1 LONDON CITY
Goals: Fernandez 35, Morgada 79
M.o.M: Graves (NFC).
Tiredness may have been a contributing factor for another below par performance tonight, against a team that we should really have beaten. Once again, we made it hard for ourselves by conceeding the first goal, well taken by Fernandez. It seemed it was going to be another one of those frustrating losses, but Hector Morgada popped up to save our unbeaten record in the competition, with a simple goal from a pass by substitute Seamus Flanagan.[/COLOR][/COLOR]
