Little update from our end again.

Following yesterday's shock league loss (which thankfully no one really took advantage of), it was time to get back on track against FC Rapid in the CL yesterday evening.

Rhondda Rovers started off well with an 11th minute goal from Sutcu. However, Adam Nicholls brought down the opponent in the box and conceded a penalty. He got booked for his troubles. Rodriguez scored the resulting spot kick. It looked like it would be one of those days. However, things picked up near the end of the second half, as a goal from Khutaj in the 41st minute put us back in the lead.

Following two subs in the 68th minute (Arianto and Ha on for Nicholls and Dos Santos), we managed to finish the match within 10 inutes. The returning german Steigelmann scored in the 71st minute, followed by two quick fire goals from Jorgensen in the 80th and 81st minute.

Final score - Rhondda Rovers 5 - 1 FC Rapid

Today's matches see Rhondda Rovers try and overturn a 1-0 deficit in the cup against LaBandita FC at 14.42, followed by the League match against Marko FC at 19.26. The cup match will be very difficult to overturn as I need to go out and attack, but the League match should be an easy win. However, Rhondda Rovers have already dropped unexpected points already this season and will be hoping for no repeats of that.

On the transfer front Rhondda Rovers completed the signing of Joao Raimondi, a 19yo Q44 GK signed for £8.7m (not bad considering his market value is £9.2m) and 2T from auction.

This officially ends Nicolas Giordano's 4 season stay with the club and is now currently on the transfer list.
