Season 77 - Week 4

Day 10 - Palace teams Cup report.

Both teams at home in their Cup Play-off Round 2nd Leg matches, and both progressed.

Palace Terriers were level after their 1st Leg match ended 0-0, so had to be careful of the away goals rule against their Level 11 opponent. They needn't have worried too much, however, as DMC Philip McKay converted an Onder Chamoun free-kick and Nikolay Radev blasted home from outside the penalty box to put the home side 2-0 up. The visitors pulled a goal back, but the defence held firm to prevent any further breaches. Terriers go through to the 'Top-16' Round 2-1 on aggregate.



Palace Casuals had little worry for their match as they were already 5-1 to the good. As in the 1st Leg match, both sides played it cagey early on, but the Casuals slight Quality superiority and home advantage told more as the match went on and the final score was 5-0. The forward line shared in the spoils, striker Massimiliano Gerini and right-wing Maarten Wiegman each scoring a brace and left-wing Angelo Musto, having a relatively quiet match, pitching in with the other. Casuals appear in the 'Top-16' Round for the first time in 6 seasons with a 10-1 aggregate win.
