Arijit Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Conference League Cup (North) : Round 3 3.11.2009, Gigg Lane, Bury FC United v Mansfield FC United, a Conference North outfit was up against Mansfield, Blue Square Premier team in a clash to reach 4th round of Conference League Cup. Odds were against FC United and Mansfield were the clear favourites. Moreover two regulars were missing from FC United side. But I tried to make an upset here. My formation: GK DR -- DC -- DC -- DL MR -- MCa -- MCd -- ML AMC ST Full Time: 7 min: My ML got a chance and he just put it over the bar. 42 min: My MCa got another chance to put us in front but Mansfield's DC was right there and he removed the danger with good sliding tackle. 45 min: Mansfield ST got a chance but he put that over the bar. What a scare before half-time. 55 min: Damn! My AMC was playing well but had to go off due to injury. 71 min: Consecutive 3 attacks from Mansfield were saved by my GK. Whew! 90+1 min: Two consecutive attacks from Mansfield and again my GK was having his game of the year. My heart was stopped that time. Extra Time: 90 min: Substitution done by me. Replaced my 'playing okay' ST with a loanee ST (he is from ManU by the way) My Team-Talk before ET start: Few 'I have faith' Individual talks and 'Encouragement' to the Team. outcome?? 8 players were playing 'with confidence'. 97 min: Four consecutive attacks from my attackers. Just couldn't get the goal though. 105+1 min: Three consecutive corners for FC Utd but no goal. I have last 15 minutes to make an upset. ET Half-time: Final Sub made, replaced MCd with another MC but now put him in MCa mode. 111 min: Extra time team talk and Subs paid off. My ST (Loanee) scored an amazing goal single-handedly. 1-0 to FC United. But still 9 more minutes to go. 116 min: Subbed MCa put an excellent forward pass which just cut Mansfield defence in two halves. My ST was through ... yes! Goaaaal! 2-0 to FC and we were making the history. 120+1 min: That's it! Final Whistle. FC United have beaten an upper division team for the first time. What a game. I love FM09 sooooooooo much. It was intense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
