Vienna break the Bus
By: Ray Porter

Following Billy Boyo's arrival at Deportivo Madrid the side has become far more solid at the back, which is backed by their defensive masterclass against Zagreb last matchday. Madrid's captain tried to kill this game even more, starting 9! players which were solely tasked with defending.

This game made a terrible viewing experience thanks to Boyo and if it wasn't for the Jamaican overthinking it and changing to a back 5 in the 89th minute, we would have gotten a game without a single shot. However, Andrew Leon, playing in Midfield today, found a gap in the Madrid defence and launched a through ball to Hoffmann, who picked it out of the air masterfully. Through on goal, the German kept his nerves and slotted it past Jefferson in net.

This dreadful match couldn't even live up to the hopes of neutrals that Vienna will finally drop points as Mancini missed a sitter, although the ref should have blown the whistle well before the chance.
