MIC Cup Tournament.

2nd Place - MIC CUP TOURNAMENT

It was a 1-day tournament oragnized by the PUTERA MIC Russian Chapter ... and at the end of the day.. penalty was the villain for CFC tat nite as they lost in penalties to GM again in a entertaining final game. 1st Runner up .. tat how CFC went back home as.

A 2nd tournament in row tat CFC took part which was participated by most of Moscow's big guns such as Heroes, U9, Soleus, Boogis, Copa and etc. With a fresh defeat from the league the previous week, CFC started their group stage xtra careful. Drawn with D'Knights, Diablos and Soldier Boys... CFC ended their group stage by topping the group with 9 points, all 3 wins. All the 3 wins was a "1-0" win. Then in the Quater-finals.. it was against the mighty Copa which was equipped with more talented players as Mate and Nabil..still CFC ended the game with a 1-0 victory and again repeated the victory against Soleus in the Semi-Finals with the same scoring.

2nd time in a row, CFC advanced to Finals in Cup Tournaments and tis time..their opponent was ..again with GM. CFC was surely looking for a revenge after they were defeated by GM the week b4 in the league match. Sporting their new Blue color jersey for the finals.. CFC played well, created chances and just cant find the finishing touch. 1st half.. 0-0 was the score. 2nd half, CFC started off with some personal and tactical changes which immediately back-fired them as GM's striker Afiq scored the 1st goal of the game. From there on.. it was an one way attacking game..with CFC players throwing all they noe to get the much searched equlizer.. and time was runnnin fast.. with barely 50 seconds left on the watch... Arulkanesh, the never-say-die Captain was sending end long rane shoot which was dealt well by GM's keeper.. then out of sudden.. Sathiya took a full advantage of a loose ball and burried it in the back of the net. The whole sport complex was in esctasy as CFC got the equlizer as oni 5 second life.. After tat 5 seconds, it was the most dreaded penalty. If last time around Faizal was the keeper, tis time it was Murad @ Tyco was in-change of tat department. Tis time.. it went all wrong for CFC.. 1st penalty was saved and the second one was scored while GM scored both. With oni a goal can keep CFC alive in the game.. Updesh stepped-up to take the crucial kick and pooof... his kick too was saved by the opponent keeper.. and we endend the nite 2nd to best. With "Nothin then Best" as out spirit... tat nite we had to settle for 2nd. Overall, a decent run from the CFC guys.. but not as entertaining game from them.. scoring oni 6 times thru out the tournament and clean sheet all they way till the Final game.. its more of a defensive mode by the Yellow Guys... proving tat, you dont need to score a whole bunch of goals to win something.. but u can do tat by not conceding any. A mind-blowing performance by Murad which surely worth mentioning.

2nd place in MIC Cup Tournament.. not a bad place to be for the CFC guys... we congratz GM for winning the Tournament.. and looking forward for the next Cup tournament... :D
