Under A Cloud
With there still being little news as to the outcome of the investigations, it was all the fans could do to keep their nerves under control, with Tian and the players tight-lipped. The fate of
Gústav Thoroddsen and
Evandro La Face - both purchased after the cash infusion - appears to be unknown too, with both left out of the squad for the day.
The day would not see much of note regarding the title race either, as both Controlar and Phantasm Hotspurs expectedly passed their tests, by defeating Krattene 3-0 and tpyers 6-1 respectively. It was closer between Mayuyu AKB48 and Shadow Chaser(R) SC, with the latter taking a 23rd minute lead through Azmil Rida Mohammad Hazim, but Gilbert Stepp and Gustavo Favari won it late as the Chasers wasted a host of chances.
Farmer Bunnies suffered a 1-2 reverse as the visiting Really McCoys demonstrated great mental strength to raise a late comeback, with Əhməd Babayev's brace in the final ten minutes overriding
Mauro Fau's 31st minute stunner, which the Buns had been hoping to ride to the end. It could actually have been a hat-trick for Babayev, had he been on target with his penalty in the 58th minute, but he picked himself up despite the miss.
As for the Birds, the Buns' closest challengers in Brighton UK and FC Phondle likewise prevailed, 3-0 versus AFC Woodlands and 5-1 against WhiteSandsMechs in this case. As for FC Jurong Rovers, they bounced back from last week's defeat with a resounding 4-1 over Mangrove Pittas, to repeat their scoreline from earlier in the season.
Grilled International got their 6-0 against Norway's SFK Ajaks, including a
Umut Koza brace, this after falling 1-3 to Germany's FCjodel in their Division Battle match-up with the V.147 contestants. With AC Rabissale thrashing Atletico Zenese 4-0 and Amelinho Kickers drawing FC Pelucoli int. 3-3, this meant an aggregate draw for the round.
