Lions 8 - 0 Lecco
A Huge win, but coming at a great price.
Split view
In typical Lions fashion
Benj opened the scoring in the 21st minutes after
Terroristio played a lovely across over the face of the goal. Then it was
Terroristios turn to take a goal on his first competitive game converting after
Fairgrieve played a long ball upto the edge of the box where the striker smashed it in.
Then the first injury struck with
Robaldinho collapsing in a heap after falling heavily from an aerial challenge. But things started to look up again when
Terroristio got his 2nd of the game from a superb
Benj ball. It was then of course time for the custom own goal.
(they keep getting wilder) the CB decided he would turn around half way in his half a fire a back pass while his keeper was in no mans land!
HT - Lions 4 - Lecco 0
The 2nd half started brightly 20 seconds into it and
Terroristio sealed his hattrick after a pass from
Martins split the defence in two.
Benj then replied in similar fashion banging in his hattrick.
Petrov and
Sparrow getting the respective assists.
But the strikers joy was short lived 10 minutes later he was stretchered off after a crunching tackle. The final goal came via an
Andrews penalty courtesy of
Taraldo (who got convienietly Stretchered off also)
Andrews converted to seal the game at 8 - 0.
My MoM is Terroristio solid first performance getting his hattrick. Looks like him and Andrews will be playing up front as
Taraldo,
Benj and
Robaldinho could all be out for upto a month!
