This one turned out to be quite a tough one, in the first half we struggled to find our best form and the game was even and we wasted a couple of chances while Childs was doing his job at the back cutting everything, what a good defender he has been to watch so far, Just like Ramirez was when he first came into the team. We switched to the dandelion on 35 mins to get an extra man in midfield and it cut off the attacking AMC and the supply to their attackers, great having a DC/DMC you can switch with no sub, between dandelion and 4 at the back and push Hogan and Ramirez to left/right defence. We began to take control in the 2nd half and just as I was about to make a couple of subs, Miku came alive and fired us in front on 55 minutes with a shot from knowhere when just before we missed a chance from a Michu corner with Malik putting the header over the bar, We decided to freshen things up by bringing Papaleo for Pietropaolo who wasn't in the game all afternoon and it was a good decision as Papaleo turned the last defender and passed to Michu and he slammed it into the back of the net to seal the win for July Fourth, Vestergaard and Michu both had a chance for our third but the defenders cut it out.
Goals: Miku (55) Michu (73) MOTM: Michu.
There was some piece of good news for us earlier today, as Batigo United only managed a 2-2 draw on their season opener against a team not expected to feature in the mix, giving us a early 2 point lead over our main rivals before heading into our game against them tomorrow afternoon which kicks-off just after 3pm.
