       Kyushu Yakuza 2(3) - (1)1 Sarnians
       Another defeat, Kyushu out played us, which given their home
       advantage and strong starting line up versus our slightly
       changed one shouldn’t come as a massive surprise.
       The only highlight was the commentary team calling Eddie Staggs
       dribble kinky!
       Never mind the Xmas break, bring on the end of the season!

       [move]Pompey Chimes 1 - 0 Helsinki Hellhounds
       AGG 2 - 2
       Pens 5 - 3[/move]
       Overview
       It was a cliffhanger, it was tight, it was tense and ultimately
       it was heartbreak for the hellhounds as this two legged affair
       came down to dreaded penalties and lady luck did not smile on
       them with Ole Guncalves having his shot saved by David James.
       Pompey progress through to the quarter final stage and Helsinki
       go back to Finland to lick their wounds.
       How they lined up
       Hellsinki looked to use their wingers and get Kiss on the end of
       their crosses. Just three defenders were complimented with two
       defensive midfielders. Pompey went with their usual 4 1 3 2
       formation with a European style of play.
       Match action
       Both teams had early changes to get their team in front on the
       night. First Hikkara saved Godi Sanchez's shot on 3 mins before
       Kiss dribbled past the defence, hitting the post with his effort
       and then hitting the rebound into orbit on 8 mins. Pompey
       thought they had taken a deserved lead on 25 mins but
       McGloughlin's strike was disallowed for a foul in the build up.
       Pompey were not to be denied too much longer and took the lead
       in first half stoppage time, Glen Johnson of all people hitting
       a scorcher of a shot which Hikkara could do nothing about. The
       match was squared up at 2 - 2 on aggregate. Game on!
       Second half - so little to say here. James made a few useful
       saved but it was increasingly turning into a cagey affair with
       neither club wanting to make a mistake. A string of subs added
       some fresh legs but even those players couldn't find a telling
       contribution. On to extra time.
       Extra time was a similar story, although Patrick Berger did
       almost win it with a lob on 107 minutes which came off the
       outside of the post before Crouch chipped the keeper with the
       last kick and it went just wide.
       Penalties - it was always going to be an uphill challenge
       against James and so it proved. Pompey despatched all five of
       their penalties and James saved just the one required to put
       Pompey through!
       Manager's thoughts
       "This is a tough pill to swallow. We gave our all over the two
       legs. We weren't quite on it tonight and credit to Pompey they
       deserved their victory tonight. It was a really close tie and
       one we could've easily won on another day. We'll come back
       stronger next year and hope to go at least one step further."
       Fitness concerns
       Already working with a threadbare squad the management had not
       considered the implications of extra time which leaves six of
       the first team squad in need of a rest. Weekend selection
       headaches loom large on the horizon!

       In the Xbox League Cup last 16 2nd leg, Golden Eagles FC edge
       out Artic Storm 2-1 in a very close game. The victory sees them
       move into the quarter finals 6-1 on aggregate, after a thumping
       4-0 win in the first leg.
       Missing 3 first team players didn't seem to faze Eagles,
       although they were set up more defensively with a 4-1-3-1-1.
       Which would account why storm had a couple more chances. During
       the first half, the game was fairly even-stevens, with Domenic
       Torcaso going the closest for Eagles, but his shot hit the bar.
       Then Jo-Jo Knight almost opened the scoring for home side just
       after half-time as he bared-down 1 on 1 with Kamil Uzbaezanov,
       but the Eagles shot-stopper stood his ground to deny Knight.
       Both sides then did a triple substitution on the hour mark;
       young Polish lad Martin Procházka replaced Mauro Sotomayor, last
       Saturday's hero Angelo Nazari came on for Alessio Kovacic and
       Swede Anders Limt took over from Milos Potkozara&#269;. These
       changes seemed to liven the game up a bit, as Limt almost scored
       just after coming on, but his shot hit the post!
       Eagles finally took the lead 12 minutes later, Angelo Nazari was
       bought down by Rory Abbot and ref awarded a penalty (although
       replays showed it to be a harsh decision). Top scorer Jans
       Goisthalt stepped-up and converted the penalty to take his tally
       to 16.
       With Storm pushing more players forward, Domenic Torcaso got on
       the score sheet in the 89th minute, after a fine pass from
       Rodrigo Desábato. A couple minutes later, Rory Abbott skipped
       past Martin Procházka and unleashed a wicked, swerving shot that
       beat Kamil Uzbaezanov, giving Storm a hard-fought consolation
       goal.
       Despite Rory Abbott putting in a great performance for the home
       side, it was Eagles’ Rodrigo Desábato who received the Man of
       the Match award with 4 key tackles, 3 key passes and an assist.
       “It was a great result, a much better team performance compared
       to last Saturday. Rodrigo put in a commanding performance today
       in midfield and Angelo caused all sorts of problems after coming
       off the bench.”
       Eagles were the only division 2 side to advance through to the
       quarter finals and it is expected that the draw will be
       announced in the new year. They could face such sides as
       Darlington All Stars, Puskas Academia or Rael Nerrad for
       example.
