So,
just two more games to go in Group B and the
penultimate fixture was Melee FC against Yac
Club. The teams currently sat in third and fourth.
With the top two due to meet face-to-face in
the final game of the group, this was a great
opportunity for the team that could take victory
here.
To
qualify for the Cup, Yac Club needed to win
and hope for a FK Prienai Lithuania win in the
final game. Yac Club currently had a goal difference
of +2 whilst Zemniecki had +6 so they would
also need a swing in goal difference. Anything
less and Yac Club would be playing in the Plate.
For
Melee FC, they needed to win to guarantee a
place in the Cup. A draw would only be good
enough if FK Prienai Lithuania won by 3 goals
over Zemniecki.
Melee
FC had reached the Cup on their previous 3 eurofootballfives.com
appearances and needed to pull a result out
the bag to keep that 100% record going. Today,
they had won their first two games and then
drawn their last two. Could they get back to
winning ways?
It
certainly looked that way in the first half
as two goals from Kevin Lewis put Melee FC in
control. Yac Club needed not only to win but
a swing in goal difference over Zemniecki so
their hopes of reaching the Cup were fading
fast. Those hopes all but disappeared when David
Stothard made it 3-0 to Melee FC with a couple
of minutes to go. Final score, 3-0.
Many
congratulations to Melee FC who finished the
group unbeaten and would qualify for the Cup.
Who would join them?
