ROYAL RUMBLE CUP - 2ND ROUND, 2ND LEG

IGDIR CITY 2-0 July Fourth

July Fourth win 3-2 on aggregate
IGDIR CITY 116.6 4-3W-1-2 - July Fourth 118.3 3N-1-3W-1-2

It was just as well we played so well in the first leg as we did, because this has been our worst performance I can remember from my team for a very, very, long time. Even in the other heavy losses in the previous RR Cups we suffered, I don't understand what happened here, the first half we we lucky to go in 0-0 and when I joined the game just after HT, I made the 3 changes... since we were confortably ahead in the tie still and we did our best to nearly lose it, Mohrekosh passed to Castro to give IGDIR city some hope after the half hour and we were off our game perhaps a bit of complacency crept in unlike July Fourth fashion as IGDIR kept searching for goals, Ramirez gave away a free-kick and Mailley crossed in a Okata headed in for 2-0, so we had 7 more minutes to see out the game, Capellino hit one from 25 meters which Childs got the vital block in and Papaleo in the end did all the hard work beating 2 defenders and passed to Michu and he missed, thankfully for us the next action was the referee blowing his whistle to our relief because that was a dreadful performance.

Goals: Castro (62) Okata (83) MOTM: Mailley

We need to make sure this kind of performance does not happen again or our RR Cup campaign will be over for sure and we must not let this performance effect our League and Champions League campaign either. Things have definately changed since the end of L17, we are not the dominant force like we used to.

Quite a close one that... Bit of a scare but at least you're through. Just waiting to see who I'm up against next.

There are level 11 teams in my cup which isn't a good sign...
