Day 18 - Palace Casuals Cup report.

Palace Casuals travelled away to their Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg with the task of overcoming a 1-3 deficit from their poor performance in the home 1st Leg. The team turned in a totally different performance, a brace from Maarten Wiegman and one from new boy Nikolay Levterov saw Casuals into half-time 3-1 up and level on aggregate and away goals scored. The second half became a war of attrition as both sides tried to get a winning goal, without exposing themselves too much at the back that they conceded one. The match looked like heading for extra-time when Andre Faisca was handed a free-kick on the right, which he pitched into the right place in the box, where defender Mihai Campean was on hand to head into the net for a last minute winning goal. Palace Casuals win 4-1, and progress to the Semi-Finals 5-4 on aggregate.
