Puskas Academia vs Sarnians
A strange sense of Deja vu haunted the side without
understanding why……
But we were relieved to win the game. Eddie Merlin creating more
than a little magic from midfield with 2 goals. It was good to
see that despite not having dominated the game that our defence
looked solid and Ady Sanders gets credit for his influence and
performance.
It’s onto the semi finals we go.

[move]Rael Nerrad 2 Helsinki 0[/move]
Overview
In a game that was replayed due to irregularities the game ended
up quite similar, with Helsinki bowing out of the cup at the
quarter final stage to Div One's current best team. Rael Nerrad
got the crucial first goal and bossed the game from there,
coming out on top as deserved winners and progress to the semis.
How they lined up
Both teams favoured a European style of play. Nerrad and
Helsinki both lining up with 4 DFs, 5 MFs and 1 FW but Nerrad
deploying 1 DM and 1 AM compared to Helsinki's marginally more
attacking 1 AM only.
Match action
It was a fast start from Nerrad and it came as no surprise when
they scored early on with Tallehasse striking on 7 minutes. They
continued to press and through dominating midfield they created
further chances with Garry James finding the crucial second on
23 minutes. That gave Nerrad a clear advantage and one they
never gave up.
They out shot Helsinki by 26 shots to 13 and it was clear that
home advantage contributed to them dominating the game. Even
when they went 2 - 0 up and moved to counter attacking style,
giving Helsinki a tactical advantage, Helsinki could find no
answer against their opponents.
Manager's comment
We were schooled tonight by a better team and a top quality
manager. We knew it would be tough and hoped that matching up
might nullify their threat. Sadly it meant that they were able
to do what we wanted to, but they just did it better than us and
we were always on the back foot.
Kiss is continuing to struggle in front of goal. I'm, not sure
why but we can't seem to get the ball to him and when he does
get it, he can't seem to score. We may need to have a
fundamental re think.
Helsinki man of the match
Contenders:
1) Hikkara with 8 saves whilst conceding 2
2) Tanaka's 2 key tackles and 4 key passes
3) Shephard's 1 key tackle, 1 pass and 2 shots
With 65% of the vote the award went to Hikkara who helped to
prevent a more damaging loss.

[right]100 pts[/right]
Golden Eagles FC's EA Cup run has come to an end, after a
bitterly disappointing 2-4 defeat away to division 1's Kyushu
Yakuza. Eagles were out played despite taking an early lead
through a lovely solo effort from Pavel Chernyshev. Turais Rigel
then equalised in the 22nd minute latching onto Rui Hikkara's
short free kick. The Free kick was a result of a foul by Artem
Poltorak just outside the Eagles' area, the Ukrainian looked
pretty annoyed with himself as the net bugled.
Rui Hikkara was instrumental again in the 50th minute, as he fed
F Inchcombe and the forward's shot took a wicked deflection
passed the stranded Kamil Uzbaezanov. Gutting for Eagles who had
been holding their ground pretty well since conceding. There was
worse to come however, as 2 minutes later, Jans Goisthalt was
shown a straight red for kicking Nakamoto . The usually cool
Finn, nickamed 'Iceman' rarelly loses his temper, replays show
Nakamoto saying something that his clearly took offence to.
Yakuza capitalised on their man advantage in the 53rd minute,
Turais Rigel played a neat pass to captain Leda Cygnus who had
slipped it marker, 3-1 to the home side.
Substitute Alessio Kovacic, then pulled a goal back for Eagles
in the 71st minute, handing them a life-line. Their relief was
short lived, as a mere minute later, Rui Hikkara scored with a
cheeky finish from F. Inchcombe's assist. More late drama
followed, as Lewi Poucho took a swing at Anders Limt and was
sent off. It was clearly in the penalty area, but the ref only
gave a free kick! Anders Limt's free kick found Pavel Chernyshev
in the area, but he was thwarted by Mikio Fujioka as he was
about to pull the trigger.
It finished 4-2 to Yakuza and the Eagles' player dropped to
their knees at the final whistle. The scoreline was maybe a
little harsh, the home side did have more chances and
possession, but Eagles were a man down for 30 minute. Pavel
Chernyshev could have had a hattrick today, any other day and he
surely would have done, he was Eagles' best player today.
"Gutted, totally gutted, we created some good chance, but luck
wasn't on our side. Jans getting sent off really screwed us up
and our defenders were at sixes-and-sevens for 2 of the goals.
We now have to dust ourselves off and prepare for Saturday. The
only blessing today is the game didn't go into extra time, as we
have a very busy schedule with us still being in the League
Cup."
