FC Kneipenkick league update: Enes FC (27.9) 2-4 FC Kneipenkick (39.5)
After our great CL semis earlier today we travelled to Turkey and met Enes FC (8th in table), who got a 1-2 away win at our home ground two weeks ago. Enes started with 3N-1-3W-1-2, FCK with 3W-5-1 V-sytle and had the better start: Upton (7.) and Decker (12.) brought FCK in front, but after a nasty foul Upton got injured (hamstring strain grade 3 - 10 days off , we will use red packs here). Pourhaji (26.) replaced Upton ST for ST, but the match turned, Enes made the 1-2 (29.). Two minutes later Kunz got fouled in the penalty are, Decker converted the penalty, 1-3 (31.). After the half-time break Enes came close to 2-3 (55.), but Pourhaji (72.) made it finally 2-4, an important win for Kneipenkick.

We lead the table now by 6 points and welcome tomorrow "redzone" from Romania, the second in the table.

Transfer news:
On the transfer market we got a nice 7 token + money negotiation offer for Farshad Fathi (5*, 20 years, 39 quality, no SA). Since he is only a back-up, we accepted the offer and replaced Fathi by Arthur Larin (4*, 23 years, 34 quality, no SA). Larin will probably not have a long career at FCK, but we need back-ups.

CL news:
In the other semi-final there was a big upset. Levy FC (32.8) lost at home vs. Real Maranese (27.5) due to an early red card and an inactive Levy manager, who could not field a 3rd defender. So it is a David (27.5) vs. Goliath (FCK 39.5) setup in the final.
