Saturday. Day 7.

LEAGUE. Match 5. YAKUZA Z UNITED (61.4) v LONDON CITY (72.3)

Result: YAKUZA 0-3 LONDON
Goals: Costa 12, Brown 46, Yashin 78
M.o.M: Oleg Yashin

We made a few changes after yesterday's debacle, and gave debuts to DC, Jeremiah Whyte, and GK, Dean Woodhouse. The team were almost back to their best and it was no surprise when defender, Andreas Costa put us ahead from a pass by Dylan Baker. Straight from the start of the second half, we gained a corner, and Costa turned provider, with an inch perfect cross, onto the head of Jake Brown. Yakuza had a chance to get a goal back when Clayton Manning gave away a penalty, and also received a red card, on 55 minutes. But Julian Prosser fired over the bar from the spot. Oleg Yashin rounded off the scoring with a fine solo effort near the end.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Round 3. FC BOKI (65.1) v LONDON CITY (72.3)

Result: BOKI 2-2 LONDON
Goals: Ascencio 4, Jovanovic 62, Duggan 75, Duggan 80
M.o.M: Martin Kostov (Boki)

We had a sharp reminder about no matches are easy, when we found ourselves trailing 0-2 to the team in last place in our group, who had previously, no points and no goals. Charlie Ascencio started the scoring in the opening minutes. After that, we were always chasing the game. Oleg Yashin then managed to miss a penalty after 57', and within minutes, our hosts were two up, through Ivica Jovanovic. We sent on Bjorn Lanwer to boost our attack, but he was injured after just seven minutes. Terry Duggan then took control of the game, and scored two individual goals to save our pride. We still top the group, though our lead has been cut.


TEAM TALK.

Tomorrow we just have the one league game, at home to Lalas, who are mid table, at 4pm, so we'll take the opportunity for some team bonding afterwards.
