Axd23 FC travelled to the Mener FC Stadium with only the 3 points of victory in mind.
The final 0-3 result doesn't tell the whole story as it came a lot harder than it looks like.
After an average game the score was 0-0 in the first half.
Substitutions and a change of formation transformed the league's leading team completely.
The entrance of more experienced players proved to be the key that decided the result. Fotis Kontoes, the captain and oldest player in the team, came off the bench and with his 2 assists unlocked Mener FC's tight defense, to ensure the victory.
Roman Radyukevich the young Russian goalkeeper was solid as a rock in the defense and with a 9 rating was the Man of the Match.
Next up for axd23 FC is the Cup's Round of 32 first leg against Odemis Bld. later this afternoon.
