Tuesday. Match day 17.

LEAGUE: Round 15.

Result: C.O.S.D 0-4 LONDON CITY
Goals: Duggan 33, Andersson 51, Brown 58, Gomez 90
M.o.M: Adam Zola

The first half of this match was all I expected it to be, against the team just 1 point behind us, in 5th place. It was a tense and tight affair, and we were grateful to lead at the break through Terry Duggan, after another fine Andreas Costa corner. The game changed dramatically after the interval, and we scored three great goals from Stig Andersson (assisted by Oleg Yashin), a long range blast from Jake Brown, and a final effort from Pablo Gomez, again from a Yashin pass. This was a very welcome result, if a little unexpected.


CHAMPS LEAGUE: Last 16, second leg.

Result: LONDON CITY 2-0 RUSTEM FC
Goals: Kennedy 76, Zola 86
M.o.M: Pierre Webo

There was a strange atmosphere in the stadium tonight as a muted crowd became frustrated at the team's inability to find the net until late in the game. Starting the game 7-0 ahead, the fans were obviously expecting another demolition job, but it just didn't materialise. With the team a mixture of first team and reserves, they never really got going against a stubborn team, fighting fot their pride. Dave Kennedy finally broke the deadlock when he converted a cross from Lukas Duran. Substitute Adam Zola added a second after a simple tap-in after a rebound shot from Pablo Gomez. We are wondering which team will turn up for the quarter-final match-up.


TEAM TALK.

Today's league win, coupled with unbeaten third place losing to 2nd, puts us 3rd now, just 1 point behind the joint leaders. This league is going to go right down to the wire.
In the CL, having progressed to the quarter final with a 9-0 aggregate victory, we await to see who our opponents will be. It looks likely to be the next highest quality team to ourselves, because they hold a 3-1 lead after their away leg. Our long time rivals, Pto Alcudia, have been eliminated after an aggregate loss of 2-5, to the team we finished 6 points ahead of in the group stage.
