A nervy affair but also an excellent performance from July Fourth who outclassed Coloz United in the 1st leg of this tie by winning 3-0 and also preventing the away goal. In fact Coloz United are relatively louck that its only 3-0. It was a perfect start for July Fourth with Michu beating his marker and passing it low on the ground for Papaleo to give us the lead, it was quickly 2-0 when Miku fired one in for 25 meters, Coloz United started to play the foul game by fouling our team as far as away from the goal as possible and Vasko who was on free-kick duty for most of the night couldn't get anything on target, Miku should of made it 3-0 just before half-time but the shot was blocked by Festas, In the second half our attacks kept getting cut out by some fine tackling by Sosa barely keeping Coloz in the tie, but on 58 minutes a wild shot from long range from L.McNamara found the roof of the net to give us a 3-0 lead, then Miku gave away the free kick but Tronche stuck it over the bar. The rest of the game was cagey with both teams having a couple of attacks each that broke down and then they fouled again in the 83rd minute but this time Mensah was on the field and he got the free kick on target but Antunez saved it, there was a late Coloz attack in search of the away goal with Roberts running with the ball but Ramirez made a slide tackle in our penalty area but won the ball cleanly and Novotny cleared it.
Goals: Papaleo (5), Miku (13), L.McNamara (58) MOTM: Miku.
Once we get the away goal in Italy we can relax and start concerntrating on our next tough opponents which will most likely Ttrabzonspor. Kadir with GALATASARAY won their game 3-1 tonight earlier.
Time for some friendlies.
