Top Eleven Season 08 Day 23, 24

It was a topsy turvy 2 days as we saw our title hopes dying before rising from the ashes as we lost against Chickens FC but won league leaders Terry FCand overtook them in the table.

In the away loss to Chickens FC, we were numerically superior but once again failed to find the net which was becoming a frustrating habit for us. Too often we had the ball, created chances, failed to take them and was caught by a sucker punch from the other team. We played well but needed to take the chances which came our way.

And for one game at least, we learnt our lesson when it mattered most as we defeated Terry FC 2-1 to take over at the top. Terry FC found themselves red carded and Ibanez scored from the foul. Terry FC's best player Fischer equalized before Ibanez scored the match winner. Our full backs Leipold and Rybin were excellent down the flanks while Ibanez was once again our life saver just like he did numerous times before. Our 43k strong crowd was rocking all night and deserved this victory as much as us did. Now that we are in the driving seat, we need to keep our cool, focus on winning each match as it comes before we can get our hands on the title.
