ROYAL RUMBLE CUP - SEMI-FINAL, 2ND LEG
Wardley massive 1-3 July Fourth
July Fourth Win 3-1 On Aggregate.
Wardley massive 118.6 3N-3(ML-MC-MC)-2(AMC-AMR)-2 - July Fourth 119.5 4-5-1 V then 4-2-3-1 45 minutes then 63 minutes 3W-1-3W-1-2
After the tense 0-0 draw this match was just as tense and in the beginning Michu got off to a flyer with running with the ball and being brought down just outside the area from Andreasson and Andreasson got away with a yellow card but with Michu playing such a key role he was forced off injured and to be replaced by Papaleo in the first few minutes of the game, we stuck to the 4-5-1 V, But chances were coming for both teams... O'Sullivan had a couple of chances for us on the wing and Arevalos and Shafie were trying to find away past our defence, we were hit by a counter attack when Andreasson broke clear and he passed it to Grecu when through on goal... 2 of the centre backs teaming up for the goal when they had such an attacking formation that was a pain to play against, we brought on Vestergaard at HT and went 4-2-3W-1 as we tried took for answer to Wardley massives strong position at this point of the game, Again Acosta getting forward was cut out by Ramirez and Shafie's cross was blocked by Malik, next the game changing moment occured when Shafie's challenge then caused Stuart to be injured and we decided to bring on Pietropaolo since we didn't have a like for like replacement and we changed our shape to 3W-1-3W-1-2 with bringing the wingers back to midfield and we finally found some joy and afterwards Miku ran with the ball and crossed into the box and Pietropaolo scored with a header, he only has 6 goals this season but this one is mightly important as this would put us through on away goals. Next it was Miku with a shot and found the back of the net from distance to retake the lead as July Fourth's topscorer, it looked like we were going through now, Acosta and Kaya both came forward for Wardley massive but Ramirez had a superb game in defence and tackled everything in the last 30 minutes, Papaleo played a ball forward but Andreasson put it out for a corner and from that corner Miku crossed it in and Papaleo headed in to end this as a contest.
WE ARE IN THE ROYAL RUMBLE CUP FINAL ON THURSDAY!!!
Goals: Grecu (39) Pietropaolo (66) Miku (71) Papaleo (83) MOTM: Ramirez.
Injury Report: Stuart 2 Days, Michu 6 Days. 20 reds will go but on a night like this... Who cares!
Team Talk: This is unbelievable... Who would of thought we make it to a RR Cup final since the dawn of the RR Cup 4 seasons ago? We found our game in the last 25 minutes when we looked like were heading through the exit door. This shows us that sometimes the teams character can tell when we fell behind. The other game was buducnost 2-1 fenerbahce... so we play buducnost in the final as they won 4-3 on aggregate. The 2 L19 teams have beaten the 2 L20 teams to reach the final!!!
