CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - QUARTER-FINAL, 2ND LEG
July Fourth 2-0 Ertan FC
July Fourth win 3-0 on aggregate
July Fourth 119.3 3N-4-1-2 - Ertan FC 113.2 4-4-2 Classic
The focus of tonight was to go out there and finish off the job and not allow the opposition any chance of winning the game, July Fourth opened strongly with intent with O'Sullivan missing an early chance and Vestergaard had a shot blocked, we then did a little bit of defending before Michu broke clear of the defence and his shot was pin point accurate and it put us on the lead on the night, of course the job is not finished yet since Ertan would only need to score twice to win on away goals, so we still needed to play our football. Sogaard and Caldas both had an effort blocked for Ertan before Michu put one over the bar, Diamond gave away a free-kick and they had a specialist but thankfully he struck it over the bar. There was a couple of early chances for Ertan in the second half from Caldas and Romero but Hogan defended well against them before we won a free-kick in a dangerous area, Michu got it over the wall and into the back of the net and that was it as far as the game was concerned. We took off Diamond on yellow to play the percentages and the rest of the game just died out since we knew who was going to qualify from here.
Goals: Michu (26,56) MOTM: Michu.
Team Talk: It was an adequate performance from us tonight, nothing urgent since we were firm favourites to win and qualify tonight, but in the semi-finals, we will have a very difficult opponent to beat in vito6a with having a good number of scout players on their team this season. Tomorrow we host Wardley massive in the first leg of the RR Cup semi-final where we are slight favourites to progress but it will be tough.
