Atlético Kolkata Day 26 Report

A good test before the Cup game, the boys won 7-0 away against a(nother) tanking team. Tiago had to be stretched off the the 5th only and we got an early goal from a free kick. David accomplished his brace in the 17th by a through ball by the substitute Bircan, which wasn't an assist. But Bircan was the super sub, netting a hattrick in just 6 minutes by scoring on 41', 43', 47' while John assisting him twice. Then in the closure Klochkov moving to the leftback position from a centre back, scored 2 goals in 79' & 89'. Not bad.

I did a bit of shopping then (to save Ts in the next season, since I can't promote), and picked up a nego player for 13T spend, and a MC from auction for a token. The former purchase and the player came only about 7-8 minutes before the Final and did play due to the consequences. The MC didn't played tho.

I didn't knew that the "1-0 down. 2-1 up. That's the way we're gonna win the Cup." will hold true for me, as exactly that had happened. With a goal being scored in the 4th minute itself from a CK, and the bench being better than the starting wingers, I decided to double sub them in 21' itself. New recruit Kayis for John and Tiago for Bircan. Tiago striked in the 33' itself from an incisive pass by David, and the latter player confirmed his MOM position by scoring the winner in 65', pushing the defender very close to the goal and then shooting from his right. Such a close shot could not be saved by the goalie, and the bench again erupted to joy as we did three seasons ago. Apparently, in that time too we were trailing 1-2 only to win 3-2. And our 100% record in the Final continues (2/2 Cup, 1/1 CL):The standings:I assured of relegation and Spartak FC assured of promotion. The good, bad, and ugly

I've been busy in the market for a while, transfer news later on. And kudos to all Cup winners!
