Zlatan double denied by Cheese cleans

The Stade de Fromage was packed to the rafters for this week’s big game. The improved Cheese Makers performances will be part of that but there was also the chance to see ‘arrogant Superswede’ Zlatan Ibrahimovic in his first away game for YTFIB. 

After a quiet opening period it was the away team that took the lead and it was the £13m Swede who got the goal on 36 minutes. A cross from the right was swung into the box and it was Zlatan that rose above the Cheese defenders to power in a header. The YTFIB lead didn’t last until half-time though. A fantastic passing move ended at the feet of Kevin Mirallas who drove in two minutes into injury time.

Parity only lasted seven minutes and it was YTFIB and Zlatan again making his mark. A clumsy trip saw Julian’s team awarded a penalty and the Swede made no mistake from the spot. Matthew’s team fought back again but couldn’t find a finishing touch. Vincent Janssen was clean through on 68 minutes but blazed wide. Matthew didn’t need to panic though - cleans from last season’s player of the year Robert Huth and new signing Andrew Robertson delivered all three points and see his team up to second.

The Cheese Makers boss was in ebullient mood after the game and dismissed his opponents’ chances in the league this season. “If YTFIB win the league I’ll post a picture of myself in my pants on the WhatsApp group”, he threatened. 

Elsewhere in the league

Claymore are top and now officially the topper-most side in the league’s history  http://wsffl.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/wsffl-table-toppers.html Clive’s team notched up another clean sheet win, FCK2 the victims this time, with Sergio Aguero getting two in a ten-minute first-half spell. Kasper Schmeichel’s Claymore debut didn’t go too badly either. Wheel Madrid are the third of the hundred per centers. Two late Nolito goals taking Paul W just far enough ahead of Mega Bucks whose fightback fell short.

Nil Satis are our fourth and final unbeaten team. Bojan’s penalty early in the second half looked to have won all the points but Abel Hernandez struck in injury time to get Kiran off the mark for the season. Trusted bounced back from a first week defeat and brushed aside last week’s leaders Fred 3-0. Andre Gray opened his account for Beef in this one. Athletico are still in the top half despite defeat to the Aardvarks. Brian will be happy that Diego Costa is back to his angry, goalscoring self and less happy with conceding two cleans to slip to defeat to Ady’s team. Winston Reid’s late block and clean sheet proving crucial.

San Dimas looked set for a second win through Victor Wanyama’s header in the last ten minutes but the Muppets erased the memory of their first week defeat with cleans from Bellerin and Koscielny. Patrick van Aanholt was one of the Artisans’ top performers last season and he started in the same vein this time round with the only goal of the game against the CFJs, reacting quickest to latch on to a rebound.
