STX vs A24 - Champions League

The league champions hosted Alien 24 in their leg one fixture. Alien 24 manager was not confident with the game but his players were as they plan something special for their fans. STX's victory against the Guns yesterday was a morale boost and they look to claim all 3 points from the Brits.

The game started without Pantelis Karaliopoulos for STX and Broderick McIntyre for Alien 24 as both were out with an injury. It only took 9 minutes for Huntington to get his first shot on target. The game was unexpectedly open as both sides had equal chances in the first half. Hollingdale had a lot of chances but could not convert them while Tristan and Robredo could only see their attempts held by Steele. The first half ended with both teams tied on nil nil. On the second half, Pique came in for Finley as it was clear that Yen Chuah wanted to stop the Alien offense from advancing. Despite making that change, Huntington was once again threatening the STX defense with a few attempts. Voight even had a rare chance in the game on the 60th minute. On the 66th minute, the away fans were disappointed when Ashoory Barkho brought down Robredo in the penalty area. Hylander cooly converted the penalty and they were a goal up. Robredo then had a shot blocked on the 76th minute. Alien 24 found it hard to break the American's defense in the dying minutes but Portoles almost drew the side level with his shot but Casillas remained clam to push the looping shot over the bar.

The game was a boring affair but the away side played very well and will look to score goals in their second leg when they are home. The man of the match was awarded to Harvey Huntington for his vision and sturdiness in the game.

Hylander takes the glory from the spot.
