Season 76 - Are you ready?

Day 15 - Palace Casuals Champions League report.

Palace Casuals played at home in the 1st Leg of the Champions League 'Top-16' round and drew 3-3, but the Management were far from pleased at how the team lost a 3-1 lead in the last 15 minutes. 'Keeper Roberto Gonzalez used his SA in saving a 7th minute penalty, the only critical action in a dour first half. Striker Massimiliano Gerini was promoted to taking free-kicks in preference to left-winger Andre Faisca after his catalogue of misses in the earlier League match and thumped in his first attempt to give Casuals the lead early in the second half. After an equaliser from the visitors, right-winger Andrea Denicola had a shot which bounced off a post and the 'keeper then kicked it out, Denicola intercepted it and shot it back past the keeper to put the home side back in the lead. Defender Anatoliy Mustafa was on hand to head in a Gerini free-kick to put Casuals 3-1 up, but then all the good work was undone as the defence conceded two late goals.

Luck it wasn't a 3-4... Even 3-3 is very bleak...
