Top Eleven Season 08 Day 07

It was a day of mixed results as we continued our good form in the league but suffered our first loss this season in the Champions League.

In our league game against a clearly inferior Winers FC, several players got to start with the likes of Yusoff and Leipold impressive in particular. First teamers Adeso (2), Ma and Olaiz might have gotten the goals but this match was a good display of our squad depth and the 3 points propelled us to 2nd place in the league.

In the Champion's League match against XXX FC, we suffered a rare loss at home despite dominating possession (64%) and shots (17 to 8). Sapasadee's form was a cause for concern though we should resist any over reaction from one game while we were not clinical in front of goal either despite the always dependable Ibanez getting a goal back. Matches like this could and will happen from time to time and what is important will be for us to learn from such defeats to improve ourselves. While top spot in the Champions League group is getting more difficult after the loss, we are still favorites to advance into the knockout round and anything can happen from then on.
