Despite the pressure and possession both in our favour, being out for the Comic's day made us just click the join button and sub players in the second half. We had a huge advantage for all the first half but somehow they blocked any attempt from flanks supposedly with their DCs. In the second half we switched to narrow diamond and kept more or less the same pressure, managing to finally score with Matsukase. We were about to double but our shoots today were totally off target, and few mins after our goal we suffered the very first action against us in the match, resulting in a double corner and of course the tie despite our aerial defender DC.
The opponents have the advantage of the away goal and of what seems an iron defense despite the lack of any wingers on sides. New Team probably suffers from a bit of confusion given the first days, and might end up saying bye to the cup before even facing a worthy team. On the other side we must say the manager at least was active and gave us a good fight.
On side note, PT is going on fragmented due to continuos injuries. As we speak 2 more inkured came out of 2 trainings, taking the toll to 7 in less than 12 hrs.
