N-Euro Middle League Round Six
Another round goes by and there's little change to the table with only the bottom four teams shifting positions. ReZ's Rabies enjoy their first win of the season leaving Real Peeps as the only team yet to win a game. Seahawks put an end to Aqui1a's hot streak and drop Bubbles FC back into the relegation zone.
****Intergalactico Stars 2-1 Rising Phoenix****
Rising Phoenix had a tough time this game as the referee clearly had some kind of bias, handing out four yellow cards to the away side. Stars were lucky to get an early lead by scoring in the 6th minute as Rising Phoenix showed great ball control, rarely losing possession to Intergalactico. In the second half Rising Phoenix were still having terrible luck with the ref and Intergalactico manage to slip another one past their keeper. Rising Phoenix were arguably the better side today but they just couldn't catch a break and although they managed a goal in the final minutes of the game, it came too late for them to equalise.
****Mcoys Sons 2-0 Happenstance FC***
After losing to Rising Phoenix last round there were some doubts as to whether Mcoys Sons were able to handle the tough training regime Mcoy has them undergoing but this round's result speaks for itself. Steven Harrison of Happenstance FC suffered a nasty injury in the first half which puts him out of action for the next few games and the Sons take advantage of Happenstance's weakened defence to go 1-0 up at half time. The second half had barely started when Mcoys Sons scored again and aside from one close shot on goal, Happenstance were unable to get past Mcoy's defence to score any of their own.
***Bubbles FC 0-1 The Sixty-Fourthers***
The Sixty-Fourthers finally seem to be losing some speed but they're still able to shut out Bubbles FC at their own ground. There's barely anything to report of this game aside from a minor injury for Amer Kurdi of The Sixty-Fourthers in the 15th minute. It seemed more like a tennis match as the ball travelled across the half way line, only to be sent back and returned again and again before finally The Sixty-Fourthers penetrated Bubbles's defence and scored in the 84th minute.
*****Aqui1a All Stars 1-2 Seahawks FC****
Another case of the stronger side losing out here as Aqui1a is denied at home by Seahawks FC. On paper All Stars had the better tactics, more chances and greater possession but Seahawks are the ones that scored the most goals. Two bookings in the first half made things difficult for All Stars as their players lose confidence allowing Seahawks to score from a corner late in the first half. Things were a bit closer in the second half with Cameron Fogden equalising for All Stars but just five minutes later Seahawks score again to lead two goals to one. Shelton Bissett takes All Stars third booking of the game forcing them to play more cautiously and removing any hope of levelling the score.
*****AFC ReZs Rabies 2-0 Real Peeps*****
Things could've been tense today as two thirds of the Chartreuse Trio went head to head, both in dire need of a win. There was certainly some confusion in this game, as both the home and away fans were belting out the symphony de chartreuse causing a brief 2 minutes stop in play as both teams joined in with the crowd. Both managers earned 5 star ratings for their tactics but Real Peeps were worse off as Rabies were tightly marking their playmaker. Real Peeps had more aggression on the pitch, lightly injuring three of ReZ's players but it was Rabies that emerged triumphant with two goals in the second half.
Most Important Result: AFC ReZs Rabies 2-0 Real Peeps, with nothing changing in the top of the table, the only result that shows real change is this one. Peeps and ReZ were the only two teams in the league without a win and there could be only one winner. This result moves Rabies up the table for the first time in weeks although they only change from 10th to 9th as Real Peeps sink to the very bottom.
Stylish Play: Mcoys Sons, the Sons successfully shut out Happenstance FC and show us that they're back on form. Mcoys midfield and offence were finely tuned to one another this game as Mcoys strikers score from two beautiful set ups from the midfield.
Best player: Zara Hagolahi, after 80 minutes went by without a goal it looked like The Sixty-Fourthers were heading for a draw but in the 84th minute an opportunity arose and Zara Hagolahi makes it look easy, sending the keeper in completely the opposite direction as he scores from a freekick.
