Season 40

[Raykco]

Sunday. Day 15.

LEAGUE: Match 13. FC JELEZNIK (63.2) v LONDON CITY (73.1)

Result: JELEZNIK 2-2 LONDON
Goals: Nikolov 4, Webo 14, Damgaard 17, Duggan 35
M.o.M: Zhivko Nikolov (Jeleznik)

We went into this match, hoping for a positive result, against a lesser quality team, although they are doing fairly well, and had a big win yesterday. The match ended all square, with all the goals in the first half. Jeleznik took the lead through Zhivko Nikolov before our players had fully settled. Pierre Webo equalised from a pass by Percy Robins. Our hosts went back in front when Simon Damgaard slotted home from close range. We again equalised Terry Duggan found himself some space and fired past the unsighted 'keeper. The second half was frustrating with City having the lion's share of the play, but being unable to get that vital third goal.

OTHER LEAGUE RESULTS:
Olympiakos 0-2 Shileno, Tongfang 0-2 Yakuza, Legends 1-4 Kukula, Minh 1-2 Alcudia, Real 1-2 Lalas, Phetchana 0-1 Danis.


CHAMPS LEAGUE. Last 16, First Leg: FENERBAHCE SK (72.4) v LONDON CITY (73.1)

Result: FENERBAHCE 0-1 LONDON
Goals: Duggan 71
M.o.M: Terry Duggan

This was as tough and tense as the respective qualities would have predicted it to be. There were very few clear chances for either side, and so we were relieved to see Terry Duggan's mi**** shot, trickle over the line, to give us the vital edge (and an away goal), to take into Tuesday's second leg at our place.


TEAM TALK.

With third placed Alcudia winning away at the leaders Minh Chi today, and our own draw, there is just one point covering all three of us. The relevance of our draw is now crucial. Had we have won, we would be top and clear by 2 points. Tomorrow, we play at home to Phetchana, who are in last place, so we are hoping for a nice win to help our goal difference which is worse than the other two sides.

In the Champions league, the goal that Duggan scored might just give us the edge for the return game. Hopefully we can keep all our players fit and healthy until then.

I forgot to add! Since we changed and started to wear our new jersey, it has brought us "luck". No injuries, no suspensions and no bad results. In fact, we have started to score more goals than the last 2 weeks.

Coincidence, fate or just luck? Well, one thing is for sure, we will continue using it in all of our games. Especially tomorrow against Orchard Utd
