Mkmillwall's PFC Sporting(light blue) took on Yeti01's Stuntcock FC(pink) in a very tight match up where no player truly asserted his dominance over the other.
Although Stuntcock FC had more of the ball in the opening minutes, it was PFC who would strike first. A brilliant through ball by Mesut Ozil saw Sturridge have a one on one with the keeper. His shot was well saved, but it bounced off Nigel de Jong on the way out and rolled into an empty net with only 13 minutes gone by.
As possession evened out, the first half rolled on without many chances, save for a shot by Moura that hit off the post just before the break. However,following the break and nine minutes of play, Moura whipped in a cross to an unmarked Ozil who could not finish and sent it wide across goal.
Towards the 60th minute mark, Stuntcock would finally have a threating series of chances, with van Persie and Vidal testing keeper Diego Lopez. However, it would be a mix up in the box that would allow the ball to fall to Rosicky in the 80th minute, and his shot, which took a huge deflection off of Vertonghen, sailed into the left corner of the net.
The only other chance in the match would be a long shot from PFC substitute Aubameyang after he ran about 30 meters following an Ozil through ball. However, it would end all square in a very gritty and tough match up in which not a lot of ground was give.
PFC Sporting MOTM: Mesut Ozil
Stuntcock FC MOTM: Domenico Criscito

A great game played by Yeti01, very lighthearted, didn't get to see his famous counter attacking style but his tactics really did block mine. Looking forward to the next round and the rest of the results in this round
Also to clarify something, Piszczek got a knock; however, if a player receives those, they can still play in the next match. It is only when a player is fully injured or gets a red card that they MUST miss the next match.
