Day 21 - Palace Casuals report.
Palace Casuals played away in their Champions League Quarter-Final 2nd Leg, lost 0-2, but still progressed to the Semi-Final 3-2 on aggregate.
Nearly 4 hours later, a home League match beckoned, and a battle of the formations ensued. Starting with 4-1-2-1-2ND against 3N-4-1-2, Casuals struggled to penetrate the opposition defence, so at 2-0 up, the Management reshuffled the front 3 into 4-5-1V and changed to attacking down the flanks. The opposition manager made a substitution to change to 3N-4-3 and quickly got a goal back, but then his world fell apart as Casuals ran in 3 goals in the last 10 minutes to end as 5-1 winners. Massimiliano Gerini, playing AMC, opened the scoring just before half-time, Andre Faisca scored the next two, the first from striker, the second from left-wing, and Maarten Wiegman started as striker but then found himself on the right-wing from where he scored another brace to finish off the match. Palace Casuals move up to 9th place after their third League win in a row.
