Saturday.

LEAGUE. Round 5. MINH CHI FC (75.5) v LONDON CITY (78.0)

Result: MINH CHI 0-4 LONDON
Goals: Yashin 49, Santos 65, Hori 67, Yashin 83
M.o.M: Oleg Yashin

This really was a "game of two halves". City struggled throughout the first half, and it was over half an hour before we were even mentioned with possession of the ball. Against the bottom team, we went into the game with high hopes. Oleg Yashin was recalled, after being benched for yesterday's game, and he eventually led the team to victory. Starting the second half at 0-0, it took Yashin only a couple of minutes to break the deadlock. Two goals in as many minutes, just over the hour mark, put us firmly in the driving seat. First Emilio Santos finished off good work from Yashin, and that was quickly followed by a fine solo effort for Nobuyoshi Hori, (his first for the club). Yashin added a fourth for the team, near to the finish, to give us the points and, rather surprisingly, puts us top of the table, one point clear of the rest.

CITY: Woodhouse, Costa, Haller, Rabus, Cole, Andersson (Olsen), Santos, Hori, Daniels, Leth, Yashin.


TEAM TALK:

Our win today gives us a one point advantage at the top of the table, as we prepare for tomorrow's home match against 2nd place, who are a much better quality than us. So it will be tough.
Stig Andersson and Mads Leth both sustained ankle injuries in todays league match and both will be out for 2 days.
