LEAGUE: Match 22. LONDON CITY (74.4) v TONGFANG UNITED (64.8)

Result: LONDON 5-1 TONGFANG
Goals: Yashin 18, Makarenko 22, Brown 46, Andersson 51, Yashin 76pen, Yashin 77
M.o.M: Oleg Yashin

Oleg Yashin scored a hat-trick to eventually spare our blushes after a dodgy first half display, which saw the teams level at the break. Yashin headed home an Andrea Costa corner to give us the lead, but a few minutes later, Dmitry Makarenko levelled. Straight from the restart, Yashin ran at the opposing defence and made a goal for Jake Brown. Stig Andersson added a third soon after. Later on, Yashin scored two goals within a minute, the first was from the penalty spot, and within seconds he had headed another goal from a Costa corner, to rap up a convincing win. Dylan Baker suffered another injury early in the game, in his first match back after his last set-back. This time its 4 days.

TEAM TALK.

Todays result guarantees a place in next season's CL, as we cant be caught by even 4th place now. Tomorrow we play what is probably our toughest match that we have left, when we travel to Vietnam to play 3rd placed Minh Chi. A win for us there, and we would open an 8 point gap between ourselves and our hosts.
Tomorrow night sees the return leg of our CL semi-final, at home to Yigido 58. We trail by 0-1 from the first match so we'll have to be at our best to make the final. Here's hoping.
