No Chance Saloon
Hilal Bakhtiar would be slightly let down by the defending today, with none of the four centrebacks impressing him along that dimension. "Good on Ramírez for taking his chances, but he frankly should never have had that many." the head coach commented. "Hadić is a mismatch for almost any player out there, but that is something that our defensive partnerships should have figured out earlier on."
There was balancing praise for
Chu Xin Lee, whose individual flair was something Bakhtiar wanted to see more of. "The difference between the Chu of today, and him as a teenager, is that he has gained a very good sense of timing on when to break out the tricks. Let me tell you, it could get very frustrating before!"
With Crypto Moon and Sarcastic Fringeheads besting Voljena Zvezda Crvena 5-0 and FC Damask 3-1 respectively, this meant that the S-League had gotten past the Bosnian II.3 on aggregate, and finished 59th of 502 leagues on a 6-2-2 record, surely nothing to scoff at. Note, this is ahead of the German Bundesliga and former World Battle champions the American Major League, just to name two luminaries that the S-League went one better over.
Robbie Football Club for their part drew 2-2 against FK Reuf with Bogdan Gheju tying it up late on for the Bosnians, and it was left to the Swedish Allsvenskan to finally claim the ultimate honours in this tournament, in its sixth iteration.
The Bunnies' II.4 finished 326th with a 4-1-5 record, not that the Buns could grouch much after accounting for just two wins and a draw, in their nine fixtures. A sixth loss came today against Cape Verde Campeonato Nacional club and former Taça Challenger Safira de Cabo Verde holders Athletic Club Santa Luzia, who won 2-0 with goals from Aigars Tore and Frederico Broega. The gritty game saw five yellow cards, and a sad lack of bite from Farmer.
Grilled International got it the worst, however, as their slim title ambitions crashed and burned against an imperious Male Diven side, who crushed them 4-0 at home. Anton Pihanurmi's brace towards the end of the first half prompted
Chua Jun Long's dismissal for upending Jonasz Chudziak, with
Fausto Perono already suspended for the final league round for his third booking of the season.
International gaffer
Didi Reidenbach moreover could not deny rumours that the club were in financial distress after uncontrolled wage inflation in recent months, and would be quite forward about some of the more highly-paid set having to make way. Speculation has naturally redoubled on perennial want-away
Fausto Perono, who will however quite likely claim another Golden Boot nonetheless, given his four-goal advantage over Pihanurmi in the charts.
