Desert Rats' Tuesday League match could have seen them play at home with legs tired from the Cup Final win, and for a long time it looked like that was the case. Eventually they pulled themselves together and gave a performance worthy of potiential Champions, right-winger Emerson de Alencar Arraes scoring a hat-trick and striker Emanuele Imbimbo netting a last minute free-kick for a 4-0 win. One of the keys to winning matches is preventing the opposition scoring and this was the 9th clean sheet by Desert Rats in the last 10 matches in all competitions.
