[right]100pts[/right]
Highland Rangers 2 - 0 Helsinki Hellhounds
Match overview
Really tough one to watch for the Helsinki fans as the manager
got it all kinds of wrong. Tactics advantage was given up from
the off and Highland in all honesty should have routed a poor
Hellhound side. It was only thanks to Hikkara that the score was
kept so low.
How they lined up
Helsinki went for 3 at the back and the extra man in midfield.
Choosing attacking football designed to go after their
opponents.
Highland went with four. At the back and counter attacking
football which gave them a crucial edge when coupled with home
advantage.

It’s too painful to relive the barrage of shots which came out
way. Suffice to say that Highland got a deserved breakthrough
after 32 mins through McKinnon and Helsinki we’re relieved to
make it to half time at just 1 - 0.
Into the second half and whilst Helsinki were having some
chances, it was Highland who got the all important second goal
through Ady Williams.
If Zuya or Louvre had had their shooting boots on it could have
been much much worse.
Manager's mouthful
We’re suffering a bit from having to play some players in order
to hit minute targets but there is only one reason for today’s
result. It’s all on me. I set us wrong. The other manager got it
right and we were beaten by the better side.
Man of the match
Only one candidate put forward after that display. Hikkara’s 14
saves kept the score respectful. Thank for that at least and
preventing the goals difference from taking a hammering.

Nikara give a good showing of themselves in loss to the Eagles
The game was meant to be a thrashing, and in the end it wasn't
particularly close, but the Nikara Dragons fought valiantly in
front of a packed out Eagle Park. The home side took the game
3-1 with a goal before half time and two in the second half
though many were wondering how the game got so far away from the
Dragons.
The Dragons went a goal down in the 37th minute in a game that
was evenly balanced, and things went from bad to worse as the
Golden Eagles struck again immediately after half time. It
looked like this might be the end, but Ayho Kushimo immediately
struck back with a wonder goal following a precise pass from
Yohan Yobari.
With the comeback firmly in the mind of the Dragons players, the
referee decided it was time to ruin everyone's fun, sending off
former captain Ka Jo Lundrum. It was a woeful decision born out
of confusion from a referee that is clearly both incompetent and
a fraud.
Even down to 10 men the Nikara Dragons fought on bravely until
the game ended as a contest on 70 minutes when the referee again
decided he would be the centre of attention giving the Eagles a
penalty. In fairness the penalty was expertly put away by
Chernyshev giving the striker his 20th goal of the season.
Almost nothing happened after the penalty except for a comical
moment when crooked referee made another stinking decision
sending off former Dragon Matsumoto. Many in the crowd thought
the referee likely thought Matsumoto still played for Nikara
which is why he sent him off though that might not stand up to
scrutiny.
Whilst the result ultimately went the Eagles way, Nikara can be
fairly proud they stood toe to toe with them. They edged the
possession battle 52-48 and had very similar shots on goal
(14/12) and shots on target (7/6). Ultimately playing almost 40
minutes with one less player and the superior finishing from the
Golden Eagles was the difference.
Manager speaks out
The Nikara Dragons manager was quick to credit the Golden Eagles
after the game saying that they are a top team and predicting
that they would finish the season in top spot. We are proud of
the boys for there efforts and feel they are starting to
understand our methods. On another day we might have got a point
but today was not that day.

Sarnians 2-2 Sunset Knights
What a lesson in resilience for the young side. The game was all
a little quiet until the 27th minute, Tommy Genge was sent off
and the Sunset scored 2 in the next 2 minutes.
Down to ten men, a brace behind and half the side teenagers it
was Eddie Staggs who led the huddle before kick off. The young
Irishman taking the game by the scruff of the neck and imposing
himself in the number 10 role.
His influence grew as the second half progressed and he netted
himself 2 goals and the man of the match award.
Skittles was keen to praise the 18 year old after the game “he’s
a young lad and has needed to be a bit more patient than he’d
probably like for his age, but he showed his true qualities
today and deserved his second MotM in just his 10th start of the
season”
“And also, he’s not for sale!”

Highland Rangers 2 - 0 Helsinki
Hellhounds
Highland fans must pinching themselves to make sure they are
awake. Following no wins in the league this season they now have
won their last three games and have now moved off the bottom of
the table.
The team put in a great performance and were all over there
opponents and maybe will be a little disappointed that the
margin of victory was not by a greater margin as the managed 34
attempts on goal with 18 being on target. The score line was
down to the great performance of there opponents goalkeeper.
The end it was a win secured by a goal in either half from
Haer_McKinnon on 32 and Ady_Williams on 68. The manager was full
of praise for his team as they were also missing two of their
starting midfielders due to suspension. He also said that this
is probably the best all round performance he has got out of the
team since he joined. Also that now there is a hunger from every
player in the team to be part of the starting line up. He has
praised the fans for there support when thing were not going
well now hopefully the team can repay some of this support.
The team will now be looking for there forth win in a row at
Nikara Dragons next weekend and wait and see if they can
continue to move up the table.

It wasn't the best of performances today by Golden Eagles FC,
but they still managed to beat Nikara Dragons 3-1. A victory
that was sorely needed after yet more cup heartbreak. The
scoreline was perhaps a little harsh on the Japanese team, as
the game was fairly even, Eagles has 14 shots compared to
Dragons' 12. The away side had a slight edge on possession
(52/48) and made more key tackles (7/1), while Eagles made more
key passes (14/8).
Dragons had set up fairly defensively, expecting an onslaught
with 5 at the back. This made them a little tough for Eagles to
break down, but home side finally took the lead in the 37th
minute through Angelo Nazari with a fine solo effort.
Alessio Kovacic doubled their lead 2 minutes after half time,
after some nice work from Jans Goisthalt. Former Eagles player
Oscar Marconato almost immediately pulled a goal back, but his
effort was well saved by Kamil Uzbaezanov. For some reason the
ref gave a goal kick? He made some weird decisions today!
Dragons did however manager to pull a goal back a minute later,
as Ayho Kushimo latched onto Y. Yobari's lob. Uzbaezanov looked
clearly annoyed with himself, as he though he could have saved
it.
Dragons then went down to 10 men, KJ. Lundrum was given his
matching orders in the 54th minute for bringing down Angelo
Nazari.
Eagles then made a triple change on the hour mark, to rotate
their tired players. Min So Jouy, loanee Andro Rachveli and
Milos Potkozarač replaced Darío Bourrin, Rodrigo Desábato
and Jans Goisthalt.
Darius Zachariadis then fouled Pavel Chernyshev in the box in
the 70th minute as he looked to hold up the ball and the ref
pointed to the spot! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot,
no idea what the keeper was doing their. The Russian then cool
converted the penalty with a powerful shot that left the Greek
keeper with no chance. 3-1 to Eagles and surely no way back for
the 10 men away side.
There was still late drama to come though, as former Dragons
player Kai Matsumoto fouled Oscar Marconato a minute from time.
It was his 2nd bookable offence and Eagles finished the match
with 10 men also!
Although it wasn't a classic from the home side, Alessio
Kovacic, Angelo Nazari and Pavel Chernyshev all put in great
performances. The latter was awarded the Man of the Match and
Chernyshev's penalty also took his tally to 20 for the season,
surely the golden boot award is coming his way?
"This is just what we needed, it'll give back some confidence to
the lads with only 5 games remaining. Chris and his Dragons put
in a great performance and I have to agree with my counterpart,
that the ref's performance was fairly poor today."
Eagles were the only team in the top 4 to win yesterday,
throwing the title race wide open! They are now second, 2 points
behind Leaders Robbaillie Escocia lost 0-3 to AFC Coventry.
Cockney Cockrells dropped down to 3rd, (level on points with
Eagles) after a shot defeat to Thames Ironworks. While Helsinki
Hellhounds remain in 4th, but dropped 3 points behind their
Finnish rivals after a defeat to Highland Rangers, who have
totally turned their season around.

United 1908 got their 2nd win a row, this time against close
rivals Sky Blue with a narrow 1-0 victory in Coventry. Despite
Blues having slightly more possession (55/45%), United hasld
more shots (13/5) key tackles (9/8) and key passes (14/6). Blues
clearly missed main man Dion Dublin, who was suspended for the
match.
Psotos Illyte scored the only goal of game in the 47th minute,
after captain P. Dneprov picked out the Bulgarian with a pin
point pass. The game got even worse for Blues in the 70 minute
as Tupe Omsouto had to be stretchered off. Then Mason Paint got
sent off 12 minutes later, capping off a bad day at the office
for the home side.
Joachim Eid put in a commanding performance in the United
defence and that earned him the man of the match award.
"3rd clean sheet in 3 weeks and a hard fought away win, can't
ask for more than that. The boys confidence is going each week."
The win takes United to 8th, above Blues, 3 points ahead of
their rivals and 2 points behind 7th placed Nikara Dragons. They
alo now sit 8 points from a potential play-off spot.
