Top Eleven Season 09 Day 12

Today saw us beaten convincingly in the Cup while making up ground in the league.

In the Cup, we lost 0-2 away at Fussball FC which was also a teammate in our association in the Cup Quarter Final 1st leg. Our defence was put under immense pressure by the home side which eventually told with the 2 conceded goals while Ibanez had a rare off day which implicated our offence given his importance to the team. The only consolation was that it was essentially half time and a 2 goal deficit was not impossible to overturn but we need to be at our best to have a chance to pull this off.

In the league, we won at home 4-0 against Atenas FC with Ma, Schweizer, Olaiz and Ibanez scoring the goals. The clean sheet was welcomed while Ibanez recovered from his poor showing in the Cup with a more familiar, dominating performance. The win was crucial given the tight contest at the top with just 4 points separating 1st to 4th and dropping any point may be fatal in our league title bid.

On the transfer front, we welcome Azerbaijani midfielder Ismayil Haciyez who was a bright prospect and looked more than ready to contribute right away as he makes his debut in the next league game.
