Darlos Revenge win in the 1st Round of the cup

I have linked my Hattrick football game account to the My Lego Stadium project and we start off with a victory.

A 4-1 away win, Darlos Revenge are in league 5 and were playing a league 6 team so Revenge were favourites but you can always trip up along the way.

The reward for the win, is a 2nd round tie at home, which means that the away side is better. (This is how Hattrick cup games work, the weaker side is based at home.) Crawley Wildcats from League 4 they also pay to play the game so it could be a slaughter when the game is played. But we should get a full house, and you just never know. It is the cup.

Report from the cup game.

Dark skies made the crowd of 5475 at RHOS UNITED Arena a little nervous, but the rain held off. Benno Antern was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Petar Denkov and Sven Mutsch.

Revenge had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks.

A mistake by the home side's central defence after 3 minutes allowed Robert Şoima to score for Revenge. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1.

It was obvious that team Revenge had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings.

Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Revenge, with 51 percent of the ball.
47
A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeper Dominik Mayer and his left defence could have resulted in a goal for UNITED, but Ian Raftery's finish was way too lame.
51
Oliver Kimber tried to get a goal back for UNITED but despite all his hard work down the right, he just couldn't complete the move.
53
With 53 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed Luigi Antonio Fiorentino of Revenge to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4.
54
Had it not been for one of the home defenders, Vlastislav Bělohlav would have put Revenge up another goal 54 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing.

75 minutes into the match, UNITED's Ian Raftery collected a ball sent down the right and put it in the back of the net, narrowing the score to 1 - 4.

The match ends 1 - 4.
Revenge enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.
The most dominating UNITED player was without a doubt Richie Williams.
Carlo Couperwhite on the other hand, had a terrible day.
Revenge's best player was James Young.
However, Remmelt Verlegh made a disastrous appearance.
