I am mightly relieved to win this game, I left my team all muddled up from last nights friendlies I trained for boosters and had all 4 strikers on the starting line-up and both GK, so when I entered the game I immediately used 2 substitutes and reduced the number of players playing OOP from 4 to just 1 with Zidane playing MC... lol... to make things tougher the opposition manager was also present to sense a good opportunity to beat us, fortunately us playing an attacking formation against the 4-4-2 classic allowed us plenty of opportunities for us to score... Papaleo put us infront on 33 minutes with a stunning strike from just inside the area and we made it 2-0 with Hardy's top corner shot was unstoppable by the keeper, the home manager made a couple of changes and most like set to attacking mentality where I didn't have much option and replaced Zidane with a natural MC Kareski... The game of course turned towards the home side and pressed for goals, they got a goal on 70 minutes following a run from Yaga and beat Seaman, they also had one of those 'double corner' situations and the second corner thankfully went over the bar for a goal kick, we were obviously fearing the worst because the double corner often results in a goal, Crawford at the end ran forward to shot over the bar to close off the game and to waste valuable seconds.

Goals: Papaleo (33) Hardy (41) Yaga (70) MOTM: Papaleo.

We now wait for the Takis result to come in this evening and anything less than a Takis win will mean we will hold a 7 point lead in the league after Mehmet lost 4-0 this afternoon and it looks like Mehmet now have collapsed after their superb start of the season.
