With an incredible pre-season under Futera FC's belt, which saw 13 goals scored and 2 conceded, and a few great signings by Manager Alkesh Lalji, you couldn't blame Futera FC's players and Virtual Managers for being slightly optimistic about the coming season.
Rumours had been rife on Facebook all week, that we now possibly have a team that could challenge for honours, and on the back of this performance the RED SHIELDS would not have gained many doubters.
Goals by new signings Ryan Northwood and new fans favourite Pat Daley, saw Futera FC go in at half time 2-0 up, although a heroic display from yellow carded Goalkeeper Sergio Taylor helped keep USL RED STARS quick forward line at bay.
With Futera FC trying to capitalize on their strong showing in the first half, the second half started in disastrous fashion with USL catching the defence napping with a clinical through ball, that put their number 9 through on goal and he easily slotted the ball past Taylor to make the score 2-1.
New Captain Renan Ramos could easily have let his teams heads go down, but words of encouragement from him and the Virtual Managers spurred the RED SHIELDS on and with 20 minutes left a fumbled catch from the USL number 1, saw Ramos nip in and head the ball into an empty net, putting the result beyond doubt.
Ryan Northwood, who had played outstandingly in the centre of defence helped round off the day with an inch perfect pass to Stu Henman, who cheekily chipped the ball over the oncoming defender before calmly slotting the ball into the net.
Man of the Match: Ryan Northwood
Virtual Manager of the Match: Oliver McLarry
