CL, Semi-finals, 1st Leg



We overall plaied it very well, conceiding in the first half only a counter which we broke in two corners faded away by our defenders. We scored immediatly with Becker (3'), and kept creating numerous occasions yet not finishing the job. A second yellow card for a nasty foul before the end of the first half gave us a one man superiority which made the second half an all out assault to their defense. Hutton had an illumination right at the start and got to rhe keeper, serving Schnider who easily tapped in the ball for the 0-2 (46'). We kept shooting but their keeper was on track today managing to deflect everything we threw at him, and even two FK bombs from Romer. We had three subs in to brake their rythm and from another good save from their keeper we had a double corner where Diamond received Romer'z cross and signed the 0-3 (79').

Scorers: T.Becker, K.H.Schneider, P.Diamond.

A good result which, unless a thyphoon hits us, acts as ticket for our 4th straight CL Final; a 3 goals gap which ain't the true face of the match which we dominated thanks also to the red card they received. We will take advantage of that to rest completely Hutton, Matsukase and Bergera who lately all saw their marks decreasing probably due to fatigue. Little pity for Hutton's goal record, but it is a must.
