Tuesday.
LEAGUE: Match 1. ABSOLUBE FC (80.1) v LONDON CITY (79.9)
Result: ABSOLUBE 0-1 LONDON
Goals: Leth 49
M.o.M: Jonathan Watts
Our first match in this tough league, could hardly have gone any better, against the second highest quality team. It was a tough baptism of fire for us considering we were fielding 4 last minute buys in our team. The only goal of the game came just after the halftime break, when debutant, Mads Leth, who was deputising for the injured, Oleg Yashin, rose above the defence to head home a cross from Jake Brown. We had a couple of scares, but held out, for a moral boosting win.
CITY: Miklosko, Haller, Whyte, Fiksdal, Watts, Olsen, Santos, Hori, Brown, Leth, Robins.
TEAM TALK:
Finding ourselves in a level higher than our status, meant we had to hastily bring in some new blood, to be able to compete with other teams in the league. In the last 12 hours, we have signed, Czech goalkeeper Ludek Miklosko, English defender, Jonathan Watts, Brazilian midfielder Emilio Santos and Norwegian striker Mads Leth. All four made their debuts in todays league encounter, and showed encouraging signs, especially Watts who picked up man of the match.
