Thursday. Day 19.

CHAMPS LEAGUE: Quarter-Final, 1st Leg: EVAIR FC (71.2) v LONDON CITY (73.6)

Result: EVAIR 1-1 LONDON
Goals: Narin 12, Duggan 28
M.o.M: Stig Andersson

We travelled to Brazil for this first leg encounter and came home rather frustrated after dominating the match and yet having to settle for a draw at the end. Johan Narin put the Brazilians ahead early on, but Terry Duggan worked himself some space to equalise not long after. From then on it was a case of missed chances for us to grab a good win to take to our ground.


LEAGUE: Match 17. PTO ALCUDIA (72.5) v LONDON CITY (73.6)

Result: ALCUDIA 3-0 LONDON
Goals: Gusalov 18, Gusalov 49, Mendez 74
M.o.M: Elias Habdas (Alcudia)

A win here would have put us 6 points clear at the top, but then again, we were playing our deadly rivals, whom we seldom seem to do well against. This was the 12th time we have played them in 5 seasons, and we have only 2 wins and a draw to show for our efforts. Two goals from Yusup Gusalov and another from Jose Mendez condemned us to another defeat, to leave the both of us, level on points, but they have a superior goal difference.

OTHER LEAGUE RESULTS:
Phetchana 0-2 Tongfang, Lalas 3-3 Legends, Yakuza 1-3 Jeleznik, Shileno 2-0 Kukula, Danis 0-4 Olympiakos, Real 3-1 Minh.


TEAM TALK:

The only consolation for us after today's league defeat, is that (hopefully), that is our last meeting with our bogie team for this season. It never seems to matter what quality difference or team formations we each have, Alcudia always seem to get the upper hand. We have had only two league defeats this season, and both have come against them, by an aggregate of 2-8. Tomorrow we play at home to Yakuza who are in the lower half of the table.

In the CL, we got an away draw, and a goal, which maybe gives us a very slight edge for the return match. If we were lucky enough to make the final of the competition, our potential opponents could very well be, PTO ALCUDIA.
