We stuck with our 2nd half tactics that got us the win against our opponents in the 1st leg and once again it worked well, Our opponents keeper had a superb game keeping out everything in the 1st half, until we scored our first free-kick of the entire season which came from an unlikely source of Hogan on 51 minutes. Pietropaolo did well in this game setting up Malik on the edge of the area to double our lead midway through the 2nd half, We almost got another right afterwards when we won a corner and Ramirez' header was saved by the keeper, time was running out for Rekiny Rybink and they got a goal back when Anton setup Bustas for an easy finish, July Fourth held on for the win and Miku blasted a late 90th minute chance over the bar.

Goals: Hogan (51) Malik (67) Bustas (80) MOTM: Ramirez.

Team Talk: So, It's our new friend club 'Benca FC' in the next round, be interesting to see how Vestergaard gets on playing against his old club, It should be a good battle in both legs in this Quarter-Final with both of us being active managers and ourselves being L19 and the marginally stronger team by quality. Hopefully they stick to the friendlies rule, but I don't think that will be the case here. It's nice to get so far in the cup after 3 seasons of disappointment of the format change and prove ourselves against good L20 teams and also its good to get 2 wins in fixtures that were both early kick-offs and the players now can have a mini-rest until tomorrows league game against ALPDER.
