Top Eleven Season 08 Day 14

It was a great day for Taeyeon FC as we secured 2 important home wins in Cup and league to improve our prospects for silverware.

In the Cup, we overturned the 1st leg deficit with an impressive home win, scoring 2 goals without reply to advance into the last 4 of the competition. Sutalo excelled with a Man Of the Match display in his midfield anchor role amd scored the opener while Olaiz scored the decisive goal to send us through. Leipold is establishing himself at left back while veteran Thelen is a great option at center back with Sutalo moving upfield.

In the league, we won 4-1 against Man U Nited with Ibanez scoring a hat-trick in 18 minutes to follow up on Schweizer's opener in the 4th minute which set us up for victory early on. this was our 3rd straight win in the league which moved us up to 3rd in the table and among one of the Champions League spot though with just 5 points seperating us from 8th spot, we need to keep pushing on in a very tight and competitive league.

On the transfer front, young center back Erwan Ali was attracting bids from other teams which was a testament of his potential but these bids were naturally refuted as we see him as a vital component in our defence in the not so distant future.
