Juventus
Bizzarri, Klostermann, Tah, Maksimovic, Masina, Drinkwater, Fosu-Mensah (Passlack), Coman, Sanches , Boufal, Aduriz


An excellent away win for Juventus here. Although should truth be known it was certainly a lot closer a game than the score line would suggest. The difference being that on the day clinical Juventus took their chances, whilst Tatung will rue a couple of extremely near misses that on another day could have surely given them at least a share of the points.

SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden 1-1 Forres Mechanics

SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden
Ederson, Mayke, Salcedo , Reyes, Geferson, Danilo, Paredes, Arrascaeta, Pereiro, Jota, González

Forres Mechanics
Bentley , Almamy, Barzagli, Wallace, Holding , Neves, Kante, Alli (Grujic), Asensio, Gabriel (Mbappe), Ibrahimovic (Mayoral)


This is definitely a big tester for SC Cambuur with an extremely capable Forres Mechanics in town. As always Cambuur field a young an exciting South American affair, but they’ll have to keep the big man Ibrahimovic quiet to get their first points on the board.

First point on the board for Cambuur, whilst Ibrahimovic gets straight off the mark.

Wellington Phoenix v Blyth Spartans

Both these two teams lost first time out (blame the fruity not the Welshy ) so no pressure on me then

Wellington Phoenix
Howard, Jung, Bailly, Wimmer, Grimaldo (Arbeloa), Elneny, Coquelin , Gray, van der Vaart (Pandev). Gnarby, Rashford (Dembele)

Blyth Spartans
Buffon, Yedlin, T.Silva, Rugani, De Sciglio, De Rossi, Cataldi (Zidane), K.P.Boateng (Mauri),
Munir , Aarons, Lapadula (Sadiq)


End to end stuff here in New Zealand; with Wellington going for the jugular (in a nice way) and Blyth hitting right back on the counter attack. Home advantage the key separating the two sides.

Wellington pick up their first win, and surely Blyth won’t be far behind.

NB. Your tactics are back to normal Tino (good normal!)

Pumas de UNAM v Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski

Pumas de UNAM
Pau, Hernandez , Balanta, Christensen, Ojo (Ake), Kranevitter, Tielemans, Charly, Boga (Samper), Williams, Correa

Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski
Mannone , Rangel, Gabriel (Akpom), Terry, Stearman, Enrique , Hoffmann, De Jong, Campbell, Odegaard , Welbeck

Dyskobolia proved to be a hard nut to crack in their first match of the season, potentially the first of many clean sheets? However, unlike in the first match they are away from home against a Pumas team who are coming in off the back of an excellent 3 points against Baggy.

The Pumas got past the parked bus but it wasn’t easy, and both goals came from free kicks just outside the opposition’s box.

Edinburgh 2-2 Fishguard
Defoe(Roberts) 67, Vardy(Defoe) 72; Dahoud(Weigl) 13, Fekir(Dahoud) 85
MOTM: Dahoud
Yellows: Vardy, Wanyama; Weigl, Finboggason

An entertaining game, Fishguard were on the front foot for the most part, they had extra quality in midfield and attack that helped them to settle and control the game, the midfield pairing yet again showing their quality. Edinburgh always looked a threat though, their front two pulled Fishguard apart on the counter and Roberts showed flashes of the player he can be.
