​

In a cagey affair, Stades Rennes avenges their heart breaking loss to Koln, as they win at home 2-1. Rennes showed their intent with a first shot on goal from a header that hit the crossbar, J. Feret finally breaks the Koln Defense with a run inside the box and crosses to find a Montano who skies over the Koln Defender to draw first blood. Koln answers with a goal from corner as sub Chong Tese heads in the equalizer after a poor run at ball by Costil. The match looked to head into a disappointing draw when Ekoko finds M'Villa and he manages to curl the ball pass the Koln Defender to steal all three points. ​

MOTM/Clean Sheet: Dikan​

​

After taking a 2-0 lead into halftime off of nice finishes from Welliton and Eminike, Spartak capped off the scoring in the strangest way possible. de Zeeuw swung in a corner which Eminike was able to direct on goal. Given was able to direct the ball onto the post, and with no pressure on the rebound, he sprint backwards to claim the ball, walking into his own net in the process. Good game Zikry , but that third goal deserves an apology, I'd thought I'd seen all the crap EA could throw at someone in this game, but I've never seen that...​

Left: Welliton opens the scoring with a composed volley on his own rebound
Right: Eminike is the beneficiary of EA's brilliant programming

An uneventful match between two relegation threatened clubs in Serie A. Neither team was able to manage a clear-cut chance on goal. The Hoffenheim defense did well in the second half to smother Fiorentina's attack. Both teams would have preferred the 3 points, but both will settle for a point apiece.

Aston Villa Deal Wolves Title Blow as Defense Puts in Best Performance of the Season​

​

With no pressure on them as they are neither title contenders or in a relegation battle, Villa found themselves in a unique situation today. Allowed to play with no stress the team was able to produce, arguably, their best performance of the season as they finally get 3 points from one of the vaunted "top" sides of the league after having no luck against Bremen, Spartak, Koln, or Wolves previously. "This was a large step in the right direction" said captain S. Petrov after the game. "We knew coming in that Wolves were extremely dangerous in attack and that their forwards liked to shoot from anywhere as long as they were given the space, so it was our goal this game to close down that space to help Shay out". The tactic proved to be successful as Wolves registered 0 shots on target, and Villa were able to hit on the counter to get their goals. "The goal right before halftime was massive for us" continued Petrov "Albrighton was able to take the ball in the box and delivered a perfect cross for little Bannan to head in, and after that we were able to set up shop and kill off the game late in the 2nd half". ​

​

Massive win for the Billy Goats as they end their two-game slide with a fantastic performance. Matchups have played a large role in the success of the team this season. Koln have struggled mightily against Bremen, Stoke City, and Wolves, dropping points by wide margins (hence their negative goal differential), yet they have found relative success against other sides. Two games remain for the Billy Goats, including a showdown with bigox1337 and the noted Stoke side which punished Koln earlier this season. Three points may be necessary if they wish to have any shot of taking home the title, especially with their other remaining fixture vs. juanchoCT14 in limbo. Another nice game Zikry​

interesting....but since we haven't been counting them this season, it won't be counted now. Next season we will record these assists

that is interesting, although i have seen numerous times the game gives my goalkeeper an assist after i score a penalty, so i'm not sure how it jumps to that, but i was never aware of that rule.

ill be there

I'll be on in 10, see you there.

S. Lakic (90')​

TSG Hoffenheim were able to secure their first-ever win against HokieNYC in TFS league play on a late S. Lakic goal. The strike gave the visitors a much-needed 3 points on the season, to pull themselves farther out of the relegation zone. A questionable penalty call in the 24' led to the game's first goal, a penalty well taken by V. Montano. The score remained 1-0 going into halftime, and it seemed Hoffenheim would let another game slip against his opposite manager.

Hoffenheim did well to equalize in the 54' through S. Lakic, but Rennes responded quickly, scoring a counter-attack goal (clearly manager RedAL's weakness) to put the home side back on top. Unlike the first penalty, there was no denying Y. M'Vila, soon on his way to Arsenal, took down P. Mlapa inside the area. S. Salihovic put away the game-tying goal with just over 15' to play. Just as time was about to expire, S. Lakic broke into the area and lashed home the game winner, sending the visiting fans into joyous song, and securing 3 points for Hoffenheim.

gg HokieNYC, even game could have gone either way. Y. M'Vila is suspended Matchday 21 vs Aston Villa Zikry

juanchoCT14

Any chance you can give me an idea- when you will be available.?

juanchoCT14 let me know as well

The fouled player was Agbonlahor so not even sure why they awarded Albrighton the assist.

probably because abonglahor couldn't assist his own goal...who knows how ea works it in this situation, just as likely they went to the next guy alphabetically and gave the assist there.

Hoffenheim and Stoke City battled to a 1-1 draw this afternoon. The home side dominated possession and took their chances well, earning a penalty shot after J. Woodgate brought down P. Mlapa in the box. S. Salihovic converted the spot kick to put his side ahead. Hoffenheim asserted themselves throughout the rest of the half, but at about the 60' mark, Stoke began looking dangerous. The home side bunkered in, and it was none other than P. Crouch who leveled the match with a streaking header. Crouch had the last chance of the game to get all 3 points, but his glancing header went just wide of the post.
