Season 76 - Are you ready?

Day 3 - Palace teams report (2/2).

Palace Casuals were at home for their first League match of the season and faced a team with an equal quality starting XI. The visitors took the lead late on in the first half, but striker Massimiliano Gerini had the hosts level by the break. A couple of substitutions half-way through the second half was the spur for Gerini to score the winning goal, from a cross by left-winger Andre Faisca.



Palace Terriers opened their Champions League account with a home win over a 5Q poorer team. Covering for the absence of right-winger Declan McGranaghan, Nikolay Radev played on the right and Samir Gross moved from striker to left-wing, with striker Kamel Hamlili up front. Left-back Andre Forsmark scored a rare goal from open play when he opened the scoring with a header from a Gross cross, and despite a lot of huffing and puffing by the home side, the score remained 1-0 at half-time. After the break, the two wingers combined for Gross to add to the lead from a Radev pass, and after the Terriers Management used all his substitutions around the mid-point of the half, the hosts scored 3 goals in 10 minutes to confirm their overall dominance. Gross crossed again for substitute DMC Daniel Hristov to volley home, then striker Brian Horne made his second substitute appearance and scored his second goal, and finally the Gross and Radev show completed the scoring, Radev providing his second assist for Gross to score.
