Hernandez grabs all 3 points as London slips out of the title race!

After London dropped points earlier this matchday, it's looking more and more like a two team title race. It's a must win away battle for Zagreb against the in-form Cup winners AD Lisboa, as they are looking to put more pressure on 1st place Vienna.
AD Lisboa started the first half with patience from deep territory as they were struggling to break through the solid midfield block of Zagreb. The away team looked very comfortable on the ball with their high press possession playing style. Leo Sanic gets knocked and wins a long range freekick during the 9th minute as Tom John's foul was a bit aggressive near the centre of the pitch. Akiyama Hernandez sends a direct long ball into the box, but the bicycle cycle in the top corner from Leonardo was cleared away by the Lisboa keeper Bango Bongo.
Both teams made a few tactical adjustments at half-time, as Aki Paw Paw was switched back to his offensive role in a 2-1-4-3 setup. From the home side, AD Lisboa, Ahmed Zidane and Warhurst were subbed off after a poor first half for Yilmaz and Roman Álvarez.
The best scoring chance came in during the 67th minute as Leo Sanic passes the ball to Bebe Barry and makes a quick run in behind to confuse the whole Lisboa backline. The "Big Cheeto" Bebe Barry holds the ball with his super strength and passes it to his partner Hernandez. It was awful defending from Kalle Knull as Akiyama Hernandez easily dribbled past the Lisboa captain to score a beautiful left-footed goal in the bottom left corner.
