A Lesson In Red
Tian Yonghang hailed the AC Camuna legion even as his team licked their wounds. "They outplayed us today, there's no question of that." the Birds head coach said. "I don't think we even did too much wrong, and without Franzoni, it would definitely have been closer."
That has AC Camuna all but sure of progressing to the next round with a perfect nine points from three matches, as next opponents FC Ghost overtook the Birds with their one-all draw against TSV Ottobrunn Fussball. Blu Eagle would also approach within a point of Grilled, after defeating AVK Football Club through early strikes from Giorgio Fiby and Pierre Littbarski.
Tian remained sanguine about Grilled Birds' odds of qualification, despite the setback. "As long as we win the next one, it's probably going to be okay."
