CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP C ROUND 5
Real Palermo 1-2 July Fourth
Real Palermo 108.3 4-3W-3 - July Fourth 118.5 4-1-2-1-2 ND 1st Half, 4-5-1 V 2nd half.
This was a game that could of gone either way, although it was a 'dead rubber' for us since we had already qualified as group winners before tonight. The first half was even and both teams strikers missed countless of chances, Schuler for Palermo and Michu for us both missed a sitter each, I made substitutions to try and get things going in our direction at HT and rest some key players for tomorrow, It looked to have back-fired to begin with as Palermo missed a few more chances by putting them over the bar each time before Schuler put Palermo into the lead but July Fourth replied immediately, Papaleo passed to Hogan to give us the equaliser and then scored the winner 6 minutes afterwards with a fine solo effort and we held on for the win afterwards.
Goals: Schuler (61) Hogan (64) Papaleo (70) MOTM: Papaleo.
Team Talk: With that win in the group stage in the Champions League we are only 1 win away from recording yet another 6-0-0 in the group stage, We finish off at home against Kindlkipper SV who need the win to Qualify, otherwise it will be either of the other 2 teams in the group who play each other that will progress.
Our Last 16 opponents are likely to be either SERDAR FB or a 'Thai Team' since they play each other tonight and the winners will likely qualify as Group D Runners-Up, There is also a potiental Quarter-Final on the cards against... defending champions LIVERPOON. But LIVERPOON will go out the competition should they fail to win their last group game but I think they will qualify easily since they are at home against a weaker team.
