AntiChrists (almost) meet their match!! |
Balka Juniors XIV tonight did the impossible.
They eliminated the quadruple and reigning XCL Champions, The AntiChrists, progressing to the knockout stages of the Xpert Champions League at the first time of asking.
...or at least they would have done, had Jayden Margerson's 90th minute breakaway goal not been ruled out for offside.
"What a heart-wrencher," said LukeFM who, for several seconds, thought his team had just caused what would surely have gone down as one of the biggest upsets in XCL history. "It was far from a classic game, but that moment will forever be remembered by all who were at the Avenue de L'ol tonight."
Having taken a few moments to recover, he reflected on his side's maiden XCL voyage this season, which has now come to an end.
'We very much drew the short straw in ending up in this group, but I'm proud of the results we've achieved. To take draws against both of last year's finalists, and do the double over Spirit of Shankly, I think shows that given a more average group, we would have progressed.
"It's been great to play against these big names, almost cause a massive upset, and we leave with our heads held high.
"XCL, thank you, and good night."
