Season 73 - Week 3

[Arion]

Can't be happier than today as Atlético Kolkata won 2-1 home in Cup and 7-0 away in league. Our Cup dreams flying high, and still have a shot in league.

In the Cup, Soto and Rama got booked in 9' and 26'. Rose scored the first in 44', but only his 5th in 17 games. In the 2nd half, Rose weaved his magic from the corner as Azouni headed in the net in 65'. But celebration over as the opposition scored immediately in the 66', thus Gregory Bosch once again failed to keep a clean sheet. But who cares how as we won the tie 3-1 agg

In the league Atlético Kolkata faced another tanking team. Finally right winger Colm Moore got a chance to play after 3 days as Atlético Kolkata signed his left wing counterpart, Marcio Franco. Yes, Franco's gonna retire this season, but a 3* ML/AML, with shadow striker SA, and that too a free agent? Too much to resist. Got him for 1T. With getting the players I needed the most (2 of each - GK, AML/ML, AMR/MR, DL/DC, DC/DR, DC/DMC; 3 ST and 4 MC) now I don't need to spend tokens anymore this season.
Marcio and Moore played like legends — both had 10 ratings, but MOM was Marcelo, who netted a hattrick while Colm scored a goal. 2 of Marcelo's 3 goals were assisted by Moore, while Moore's only goal came from Marcio's pass. What else do you want if your wingers support each other so much? Moore's diagonal balls to Marcio, who then shooted, were beautiful.
Others who have entered the scoresheet are Enwistle and Guerro from Rose's corners. Rose took his assist tally to 15 in 18 games. Entwistle assisted Marcelo in a penalty (network error during that time, what the hell had happened?) and Rhys Dixon fired the ball in the net from about 20 metres. I'm now motivated to win the league too.

PS: Just noticed I referred Marcio as Marcelo, correction
