LEAGUE: Round 1.PHETCHANA FC (59.3) v LONDON CITY (70.0)
Result: PHETCHANA 0-3 LONDON
Goals: Brown 33, Lanwer 39, Andersson 50
M.o.M: Oleg Yashin
Our tricky first league match, eventually ended positively in our favour. The first half hour was nervy for us against the weakest side in the league. Relief was obvious once Jake Brown had conjured a goal from nothing. Within a few minutes, Oleg Yashin set up Bjorn Lanwer to make it 2-0. Five minutes after the break, the match was won after Yashin again played an accurate through ball for Stig Andersson to finish. Three points from this opening game was definitely needed, after our dismal start to the season with elimination from the cup.

Result: LONDON 2-1 SAYAN
Goals: Perrot 10, Robins 48, Andersson 54
M.o.M: Andreas Costa
Another slow start for City in this opening group H match. Rudy Perrot gave our visitors an early lead, which they held on to until halftime. Within ten minutes of the restart, we had turned the game around. Percy Robins headed home an Andreas Costa corner, just after the resumption, and Stig Andersson added our second from a free kick, just six minutes later. We had a few chances after that, but couldn't find the net for a third time.
