LEAGUE ROUND 1.

Result: TANICHA FC 0-5 LONDON CITY
Goals: Bentley 23, Bentley 41, Morgada 42, Gomez 46, Manning 60
M.o.M: Hector Morgada (LC)

We got our league campaign off to a good start, with this comfortable away victory. Marcus Bentley got the first goal, midway through the first half. A three goal blitz in five minutes, either side of halftime, by Bentley, Hector Morgada and Pablo Gomez, made the game virtually safe. Clayton Manning bagged our fifth on the hour to finish the scoring. There was still time for home player, Mario Puncec to receive a second yellow card, leaving our hosts to play the final 24 minutes, with ten men.


CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ROUND 1.

Result: LONDON CITY 2-2 TAK FC
Goals: Ruiss 14, Misirli 46, Duran 55, Gomez 61pen
M.o.M: Sascha Ruiss (TAK)

We made a stuttering start to the CL competition, and never really got into our stride against probably the toughest of our group opponents. Sascha Ruiss put the visitors ahead after just 14 minutes, and the score remained until the break. We made a change for the second half, by replacing Bjorn Lanwer, with our new afternoon signing, Jake Brown. Straight from the restart, Jeremy Misirli doubled TAK's lead, and we were really struggling. Lukas Duran went on a solo run, and pulled a goal back, ten minutes later. Six minutes later, Pablo Gomez scored from the penalty spot, to give us a vital draw. Hopefully the team will be more lively for the next group game.
