July Fourth were back towards their best for todays league encounter against JONCLAB after last nights huge disappointment in the Champions League against Equimetal SAD... July Fourth were firing on all guns blazing and answering to the critics call by slating JONCLAB this afternoon. It took a while to get things moving mind and constantins foul gave away a free-kick on the edge of the area... Mensah took his time with the kick but perfectly crafted it into the top right corner to give the keeper no chance... Michu had a superb game and so did Papaleo, Michu on 32 minutes was put through 1v1 against the keeper and kept his cool to beat him, Mensah then played Papaleo through onside a minute later to execute just what Michu did a minute earlier. Chuck Norris should of added to the goal tally just before HT too.
The second half was just like the first half, good passing and always creating chances and JONCLAB were not in the game at all. Michu was pulling the opponents defence apart and had 2 early chances and created an opportunity for Miku to waste, Then It was time pull the trigger after Papaleo played a ball square to Michu to make it 4-0 with a simple tap-in... then 4 minute later Michu beats the keeper to a loose ball and slots it away for his hatrick, then a few minutes later he could of scored again! But a late challenge from McBride stopped him getting a shot on target, Mensah had another free-kick but struck the wall. We withdrew the main troops (Hogan,Ramirez and Michu) and even Zidane had a chance late on for a goal. It's a performance that lifts the mood at the July Fourth camp this afternoon.
One team will be hoping July Fourth won't turn over Equimetal SAD in the second leg is JONCLAB. If we beat Equimetal SAD then our Semi-Final opponents in the Champions League will most likely be JONCLAB. We also beat JONCLAB 3-0 in the away fixture earlier this season.
Goals: Mensah (21) Michu (32,57,61 HAT) Papaleo (33) MOTM: Michu.
