Balkan Boyz have one foot in the T11 CUP play-off rounds after destroying Hypool FC at Balkan Boyz stadium after their 7-0 win. Balkan Boyz seemed to show no mercy and had a comfortable 4-0 lead in the 1th half after 4 goals by Jovetić, Salihamidžić, Olić and Ljajić. The 2nd half was more or less similar to the 1th and Srna, Sušić and Džeko extended the lead with additional 3 goals. The guests from Sweden that managed to qualify to the quarterfinals last season didn't seem to have any options or way out but to submit.

Manager -Ljepoje- was thrilled and over joyed and seemed to short of words, "I am short of words, I didn't expect this kind of result at all. Sure, we knew that we could win the game, but not with 7 - 0. I think that our opposition from Sweden is shocked as well and it will require a miracle for them to over-turn this result in the 2nd leg. I don't want to prophesy anything, but I think we already managed to secure a ticket to the play-off rounds and hopefully the final-eight". Manager -Ljepoje- continued, "We all knew, that to get such a result, we had to work together and play as a team, and part from that, we knew we had a midfielder and a striker who could score at any given time. Overall, I think we showed that we can play against teams at the same level or better".

Balkan Boyz captain Nemanja Vidić was not surprised by his side's stunning 7-0 win over Hypool FC in the T11 CUP Cup knockout stage first leg,"We're very happy but I'm not surprised. I knew that we would win this game since the atmosphere in the team has been more then good. We knew that it could be a tight-one since both teams are possessing quality and top players, but individually we were better and have better players as well. We have the potential to beat any team. Then defensively we were close to perfection and that was the key, I think.".

In other news, Balkan Boyz managed to beat their rivals from Sarajevo, FC Kula in the 2nd round of the league by 1 - 3. A win that could came in handy later on in the tournament and when the league gets into it's final stage. Tomorrow the Balkan Boyz will face the Turkish team "TuC FC" in the league and later on the French team "Olympique Barca" in the Champions League. And according to the Balkan Boyz Intelligent agency, both teams seems to be abandoned. This will according to Manager -Ljepoje- be a good opportunity to give some of the youngsters some extra playing time.
