Desert Rats FC played a Round of 32 match away against a +1 Level, +11%Q team, and, in contrast to the quiet capitulation in the Champions League match yesterday put in a bit of a fight, especially late on, to come back with a 1-1 draw. Substitute Jim Henderson scored the vital goal with a shot from outside the penalty box two minutes from the final whistle.

An easier time in their League match of the day, at home for the first time this season, and the visitors being one of the many Turkish teams in the League. With Quality equal, the match promised much and the massed supporters of the home side couldn't have been disappointed. Moritz Maiwald was given plenty of opportunity to practice his free-kicks but he was out of sorts in that respect today, but it didn't stop him scoring the opening goal from open play in the 29th minute. Patrick Tillmanns became the Rats first injury victim this season just before the break, and then 'Super-sub' Emanuele Imbimbo took over:

Final score 4-0 and Desert Rats are clear on Goal Difference at the top of the embryo table.
