Bundesliga
1860 München (13th, 5-7-10, 22pt) at Hertha BSC (8th, 10-4-8, 34pt)

Starting Lineup
GK Vlachodimos
DL Svensson

DC Caballero
DR Roberto
DM Stark
DM Cermak
AML Romanenko
AMC Vera
AMR Clancy
ST Olivieri

Dimitrijevic got banged up in the last game and was at 91% so I decided to just sit him and give Olivieri a shot at ST. Doesn't matter, this season is pretty much FUBAR'ed anyway.

Stark gets injured in the 24th minute. I push the DMs to MCs and sub Roguljic in.

Clancy scores in the 33rd minute off a cross from Romanenko.

In the 42nd minute, Cermak decided that was a great time to hold up the ball and wait for someone to walk up and take it from him. They do, give it to their attacker who scores.

In the 58th minute, I push the AMC up to ST. I move Vera to MC, sub out Cermak and put Dimitrijevic in and now I have a 4-2-2-2. Olivieri's role chances to False Nine and Dimitrijevic is a Poacher.

6 CCCs and 3 HCs for my team. 1 goal. Didn't even come close to actually scoring on those CCCs.

AMC Roguljic
AMR Olivieri
ST Dimitrijevic

We get off to an early lead. In the 3rd minute, Roguljic gives it to Olivieri on the outside who dribbles around his defender and puts one in the corner. Olivieri had a few more chances but put one wide and the other was blocked.

In the 47th minute, they score on what looked like the worst save attempt from Vlachodimos. The shot went right to him, but he decided to dive for a ball that was coming right at him. And he ends up batting it into the goal.

They get a penalty shot in the 67th minute. Caballero fouled in the penalty area. Vlachodimos makes up for his brain fart earlier and comes up with the save.

In the 69th minute, Olivieri sends in a cross, Roguljic cuts in off and heads in a goal to give us the 2-1 lead.

Juan Carlos puts the game away in injury time with a goal to give us the 3-1 lead.

Olivieri adds insult to injury when their DL did what infuriates me about mine and drifted too far inside when Dimitrijevic had the ball. Dimitrijevic finds Olivieri wide open who gets his second.

And we're headed to the Semi-Final of the German Cup.

In the 6th minute, Dimitrijevic intercepted a long throw in deep in their end and his shot caught the corner of the goal giving us the early 1-0 lead.

In the 55th minute, Their GK kicks a goal kick, Svensson gets to it and sends it forward to Dimitrijevic who knocks it passed their defender and has a clean shot at the goal. Their GK makes the save though.

In the 80th minute, I watched Roberto slowly dribble the ball the wrong direction and then boot a long pass to the middle of the pitch directly to one of their MCs. None of my players where anywhere near him. Luckily nothing came of it. I really need to fix this issue I have with finding decent full backs.

In the 89th minute, Caballero comes through and heads in a corner to solidify our win.

I was in my Wall tactic for this match. Did a pretty good job at keeping their offense outside the box.

They score in the 30th minute when their winger gets close to the goal line, despite two of my defenders trying to take the ball from him for several seconds, who crosses across the goal and Vlachodimos didn't get over in time for their winger on the far side to kick in a goal.

In the 40th minute, Bouy kicks a free kick (everyone in corner kick position) that gets kicked away. Svensson gets to it, passes it up to Dimitrijevic who gives it to Daniel who kicks in the goal.

In the 45th minute, they get a free kick (they are in corner kick position this time) that gets kicked out to Romanenko. He dribbles up the side, passes to Roguljic who gives it to Dimitrijevic and he puts it in the corner of the goal to give us the 2-1 half time lead.

Had a chance to really build a lead in the 48th minute, but Dimitrijevic's shot went off the post.

The rest of the game was even without either team getting any really good chances.
