Season 77 - Week 4

Day 19 - Palace teams report.

The Cup Semi-Finals Draws for both teams have been finalised:





Palace Terriers were first onto the pitch today, away in the League to 7th place, and they recorded a well-taken 4-0 win to consolidate their hold on 2nd place. Onder Chamoun got the show on the road with a direct free-kick after only 3 minutes, but pickings were lean thereafter until Samir Gross ran onto a Nikolay Radev pass into space and beat the 'keeper in the 65th minute. Radev then went on to add a couple of goals himself.



Palace Casuals were at home in the League against 8th place, and had to overcome a stubborn opponent early on, but eventually triumphed 5-0. Andre Faisca and Maarten Wiegman put the hosts 2-0 up by the break, and then Angelo Musto added to his two first-half assists with a hat-trick in the second-half. After the other results came in, Casuals can now enjoy a 9 point lead at the top of the table as 2nd place lost and the other sides in the top 5 played catch-up to them.



Palace Terriers finished the day's action at lunchtime with a Champions League Quarter-Final match against a friend manager, and, barring an absolute disaster in the 2nd Leg, look like seeing a bit of Semi-Final action this season. Having to counter their usual 4-5-1V with 3N-2(DML/R)-3N-2, the Terriers made possession the order of the day, Sergi Hernandez and Samir Gross (2) capitalising on the patient build-up with the goals in a 3-0 win, but Terriers had another player injured as midfielder Lukasz Sapela found himself in the Treatment Room.
