Champions League, Group Stage, Matchday 1

New Team [3N-1-3W-1-2] 5 - 1 [3W-2DMC-MR/ML-1-2] Omer SK



We really thought we'd have an easier match with a bit more goals, and surely no goal conceided. But seems like Mad's Eleven is still adapting to the module's experiments acting lately. We started with some balance between midfield, and after about five minutes we were steadily pushing them on their 3/4 of field. Despite that, Omer SK's three back plus thetwo DMCS offered a fierce resistance as we tried to pierce through them. We managed to get ahead with a wonderful shoot from distance by Tom Becker early in the half (15') and that made things easier. Hardy found Becker free in the area a bit later and served him for the AMC's second goal, and 2-0 (24'). Three minutes later it was Jason Derrick's turn shooting the ball in the net after jumping two markers (27').

In the second half we kept the pace up experimenting further and getting Mason out just after he failed a good chanche, for Paul Diamond, setting New Team on 3-1-4-1-1: after about fifteen minutes Harper flies over the side, and centers a perfect ball for the upcoming Rob Denton's header which signed the 4-0 (60'). Coach Mad made some space for Ross (-->Hardy) and Lenders (-->Schneider), when after a fierce forcing we took a counter and the 4-1 goal by A.Cubas, who headed in the net his companion's cross from the side (72'). Unsatisfied, we closed the match five minutes from end again with Becker and his long range cannon-shoot (85').

Statistics:

Scorers: Tom Becker (3), Jason Derrick, Rob Denton, A. Cubas.

MoM: Jason Derrick (8), New Team.

Tomorrow we'll have two matches away, first one for League and 2 hrs later CUP against Chelsea FC, a strong team. Coach Mad is gonna rest his best eleven's choiche for the cup.
