Game Report:

No Medl for the Opponent

• MCV had a difficult start to the match, struggling to adapt to Medlánky's aggressive and physical style, which threw the team off their usual game and disrupted their rhythm.
• There was a strong appeal for a penalty following a potential handball from a corner, but the referee waved it away.
• The A team took the lead when a powerful strike from James was parried back into the box, allowing Theo to react quickly and tap in for 1–0.
• In the second half, the team were fortunate when the referee awarded a free kick instead of a penalty for a foul right on the edge of the area.
• Game management improved significantly after the break, as MCV began to match Medlánky's physicality and controlled the pace more effectively.
• The lead was doubled in the 77th minute when Theo broke away from deep in the A team's own half, outran the defence, and calmly beat the keeper.
• The result was sealed in the 89th minute when Artin chased down a through ball and delivered a low cross across the six-yard box. Under pressure, the covering defender turned it toward his own goal, leaving Yahya with a simple tap-in to make it 3–0.

The A Team is now unbeaten in six games and firmly holds 2nd place in the table. With three consecutive clean sheets, they might just be setting a modern-day club record. Still, only 6 points divide 2nd to 6th, so no time for complacency.
