Lions get their revenge against Japan

[ SPL ] Shanghai Lions FC 1 – 0 Japan FC

Beautiful windy Sunday on a nice WGQ pitch! We had a short but strong squad to get our revenge against the Japanese team who defeated us in the semi final of the cup back in June.
We had the wind against us in the first half and struggled to get in the Japanese box, turning around and taking our chance from too far to scare their keeper. Our opponents were proceeding with fast counter attacks but our defense was well in place. Despite a bar for the Japanese and a shoot from Amor, there were very few occasions in this first half.
We put more rhythm in second half and had several opportunities to score. Japanese were making more faults offering free kicks to Azz. After hitting the post, he had another opportunity 5 minutes before the end of the game, created by Tevz, at the entrance of the box. He did not miss it! A second win in a row, to be continued!

Be ready for the next game on Sunday, same time, same place, against the Kickers FC (new name for the Krauts).

Have a nice week!
