Season 38

[Chris Rath]

League update, top match: FC Kneipenkick 5-0 La Salle FC (1-0)

The match was at first tricky since La Salle fielded an unusual formation 3W-2N-1-3W-1 (system not listed in the counter formation section), but 4-1-4-1 could handle it (although there is probably a way better response).

The match started with 3 yellow cards for the away team within the first 10 minutes. The 3rd one yellow was for a hand ball in the penalty area. Decker converted the penalty without problems. Both teams neutralized each others, but in the stats one could see that FCK got with each minute better and better into the match. After 60 minutes it was Kunz, who broke the defense (2-0). From that point on FCK got more space and Decker (64.), Mosqueda (69.) and once more Decker (80.) made it 5-0. Player of the match was once more Brooklyn Decker, who scored 3 goals and prepared the other two. In total she scored 27 goals in 14 matches so far in the league.

Taking a look onto the table, that win was an important step towards the league title:


Outlook:
Tomorrow we will play Hoki 88, an inactive side playing 4-4-2. I fielded two weeks ago a 4-5-1V to counter it and thought to be on the save side (with 17 more quality), but the match ended 1-1. So this time I will watch it and check what the game engine does. And in the CL quarter finals we will face once more La Salle FC.
