Top Eleven Season 09 Day 08-10

It had been a hectic few days for us as we got into our strides on 3 fronts.

In the league, we propelled ourselves to 2nd spot, 1 point behind Dinamo L'Aquila. The likes of Ibanez and Ma continued to lead the way with their consistently strong performances while strikers Schweizer and Reece are getting amongst the goals as we are currently on a 4 game winning streak, with the outstanding result being a 5-1 home win against fellow contender Edgar FC.

In the Champions' League, we got a decisive breakthrough as we won at home against Roccia FC by 2-1, giving us the advantage in the group to qualify for 2nd spot. Ibanez and Ma scored the goals which won us the match while Coulibaly was impressive in the anchor role.

The last 16 Cup tie was an exciting affair as we drew our home game against Eden Eruptions 3-3 which put us at a disadvantage. However, we managed to overcome the adversity with a convincing 3-0 away win which was arguably our best result so far this season. Ma gave a masterclass display as he combined goals (2) with creativity (1 assist to Coulibaly) and just creating uteer havoc o the rigth flank. Credit must go to our defense as well with the likes of Sapasadee, Leipold, Sutalo, Osman and Rybin all performing well. It was a complete performance which we need to bear in mind and replicate similar effort and focus as often as possible.

On the transfer front, we bid farewell to Ruben Reguero who has been a key anchor midfielder for the past few seasons and was a top professional throughout his time here. We also welcomed young Swedish right winger Fredrik Topal who would be understudy for Ma and provide cover on the right flank when needed.
