Result: LONDON 2-2 MINH CHI

M.o.M: Sadidin Pedersen
This titanic clash between the top two teams, ended as a stalemate, which leaves Minh Chi still unbeaten, and top of the table by one point. Francesco Di Caro put our visitors one up, and when Simon Camara made it 0-2 before the break, things were looking bleak for us. But we improved after the interval and Jake Brown poked home after a pass from Adam Zola, to halve the deficit, just on the hour. Six minutes later, Percy Robins set up defender, Jeremiah Whyte to grab an equaliser. That was the end of the scoring, but unfortunately, Jake Brown collected an injury on 74 minutes, which rules him out for 4 days.

TEAM TALK.
We don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved with today's draw. Before the start, we were hoping to get a win against our nearest rivals, which would have put us top by 2 points. But after being 0-2 down at halftime, we were thankful to get a draw in the end, to leave the top positions unchanged.
Tomorrow we have a morning kick-off away at Olympiakos, who are currently in a promotion position in the league. They are having an average season. In the champions league, we go into tomorrows final group game, at home against second placed Ercan, with a 5 point lead, so top spot is already guaranteed, which is a relief, because our potential first knockout match will be against the runners-up of group G, which contains Pto Alcudia, who have also won that group.
