Top Eleven Season 08 Day 21

Today was a mixed day as we kept pace in the league but found ourselves knocked out for the 2nd time in 2 days as we were eliminated from the Champions League at the quarter finals.

In the league, we overcame a stubborn home team in Kadae United, winning 4-2. Safiesa was really flourishing in his DMC role as he gave a Man Of the Match performance, scoring 2 goals and dominating the middle of the park while there were positive performances from the likes of Arabatzis who scored once and assisted once as well as debutant Tajeddine who was bought today from Alisya Arissa FC for $14M. This win allowed us to consolidate 2nd place in the league as we remained a point behind Terry FC and 7 points ahead of 3rd placed FC Redondela.

In the Champions League, we lost 0-2 away to Boms Ba FC amd was eliminated 2-3 on aggregate. Despite dominating with 60% possession, we were lacklustre in attack which proved to be our downfall. We simply needed to be more clinical in front of goal and despite all the complexities in today's game, getting that ball into the back of the net remains key to any form of success on the football pitch. This will be an aspect which we look to improve going forward as we gather ourselves for the final stretch of this season and give it our all in pursuit for the league title which is still within our reach.
