A first loss for Perfect Tactics this season against a slightly better team but we can't be disappointed here. Things didn't seem to go our way in the first half as they took a lead from a corner through Kastrati. Kastrati got a second goal from yet another corner and it seemed to be Goff giving away the corners each time! We couldn't break their formation down and in the 2nd half we were getting back into the game but we were wasting chances. A red card for our opponents gave us a chance from a free kick but it was saved. However from the corner Pistov headed in for the all important away goal. A stupid glitch meant that we couldn't make a sub and it almost cost us as Hardy was injured, almost giving us an illegal formation and they battered us in the last 5 mins but we held on for a narrow loss.

Goals: Kastrati (24', 37'), Pistov (70')
MOTM: Kastrati
Sent off: Jernslett (70')
Hmmm... Looks like you have to fight all the way to win this tie, the important thing here is you have kept yourself in this since you said your opponents were the better team for most of the game. Your at home in the second leg and I can see you turning this one around and making it onto the last 16 draw brackets drawsheet and it would be good to see quality drawsheet from you in a few days.

Other news: Troll City won their playoff first leg 2-0 at home and are strong favourites to reach the last 16 of their RR Cup.
