Season 88 - Are you ready?

[CM-16]

CL Semi Final :

Persebaya 2014 6-0 Candra Handib FC

Adding insult to opponent's injury was this Bonek delighter. Shinji Okazaki scored the first goal that would end any hopes for the opponent to advance. Then the next goals were scored by Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, Sreng Hab, Linderd Hasanuddin, Sreng again through a penalty, and finally Cho Kwan-Myong.

Final game will be against Needz FC. A German team that managed to outscore Juis FC 2-1 (2-0 & 0-1) in the semis

CUP ended good for us ...



Sooner we will have our Champions League game where we must win if we want the treble.

[Cloverfield]

Although the unbeaten streak grew even more, 2 draws in champions league were not enough for reaching the final.

Soooo close once more for the treble.

Pitty, but still team is over performing against too competitive teams in all cups.

Desert Rats FC played their Champions League 2nd Leg match at home, defending a 3-0 lead. It looks like the strikers are getting back to form, as a brace from Emanuele Imbimbo was enough to get the Rats through 2-1 on the day, 5-1 on aggregate. The home side took the lead in the 11th minute, when Imbimbo was given a free-kick opportunity just outside the box, and the 'keeper never moved as the shot nestled in the corner of the net. The visitors had a couple of higher-Quality players back in the side that were missing in the 1st Leg, so it was no surprise that they put up stiffer resistance than in the previous match, and got on the scoreboard in the 39th minute to make the match level at the break. After an even second-half, Imbimbo settled any fluttering hearts amongst the Rats support with 11 minutes to go, finishing off a left-flank move by Gary Cusack.

Desert Rats opponents in the Final are the team that were Runner-up in Group C, they dispatched the pre-competition favourites 4-2 in the other Semi-Final, to set up an intriguing Final tie.

After a heavy 1-5 defeat at home for the CL semi-finals, axd23 FC had nothing to lose today and achieved a consolation 0-3 victory but 2 more goals were needed for the miracle qualification to the Final. Let's hope the team bounces back next season.





On another note, a 1-2 victory against the 2nd of the League table put us 6 points ahead of them and with just 3 matches remaining and the goal difference to our advantage the League title is pretty much a done deal.

Desert Rats FC have added another trophy to their cabinet today, their away League match result meaning that they cannot now be caught at the top of the League, and they can revel, for a couple of days at least, with the appelation 'Champions Elect'.

Emerson de Alencar Arraes carried on where he left off in the League match yesterday, scoring the first two goals in this match, the first with an assist from fellow winger Unal Ozdemir, the other a magnificent solo effort. After the break, striker Emanuele Imbimbo fed a through ball to midfielder Ireneusz Jezierski, and he went round the 'keeper to slot in the third goal. Defender Garry Crawford finished off the match with a brace of his own, the first from a free-kick, and the second from the Penalty spot after an infringement in the area. The final score of 5-0 means that, with three matches remaining, Desert Rats 10 point lead is unmatchable.
