Leicester Tigers move into the top four with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Hasty FC.
Second-half goals from Aymeric Mukendi and Musa Purcell sealed the Tigers' third consecutive win.
Leicester sits in fourth and loses from 2nd and 3rd placed teams close the gap on second place. However, a win for leaders Crimson Duck FC keeps the gap from the title to 12 points with just 15 points available.
Won my first trophy in 10 seasons. 10 seasons ago I won the cup. Hopefully this season I can get the triple crown for the first time

Also none of my players reached any of the top players list despite winning the competition.

Both teams racked up their first bit of silverware today.
Desert Rats FC faced a -8%Q opponent, and after a dominant start, struggled to compete and it was no surprise that the match ended up in a penalty shootout. The Rats spot-kick takers were on fire, though, and it only needed three of them to step up before the win was recorded.
With his two primary MCs sidelined through suspension and a 'keeper injured in last night's League match, the Nouvion FC Management had to be creative before this Cup Final. The GK issue was easily resolved with the application of a few red packs and daily training, but the MC issue was a longer term problem. The backup midfield consisted of two high-3* and one 2.5* players, so the Transfer Market was attacked and two 4.5* MCs bought for the princely total sum of 4*/$6.65M. These were gradually introduced in matches over the weekend and yesterday, and thus were accustomed to each other and the rest of the squad by the time the Final started.
Facing a -10%Q team with a largely unbeaten record this season, early play looked good, but the forwards were running into trouble with the opposition defence. Step up the defence, DC David Alberola and DR Pablo Abarca providing the first-half goals which secured Nouvion's 4th Cup win.
Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...
Today i play my second Cup final, losing the first one. In league i stay with 2 points on top and in UCL i had a hard home game with 1-1 final results and looking forward for the away game. Let's do the triple!
Normally your team should have went into the worse league with Canton Apollo and so on, I don't know why the leagues are so mixed this time, where we also have the Julian guy who doesn't fit with all the good teams... Think Nordeus wanted to give you a challenge...
And yeah, almost always at our level, there promote more than 8 teams. I was once promoted as 10th place, it was a while ago. I heard from a friend he was promoted as 11th spot... So I think to be safe to not be promoted, you should finish last or as low as possible.
