Jordan Ito was having a off day in Midfield, the solo goal and equalizer scored by Mesaad Hamad was partly his fault, he didn't look good when Ramadam Qmah scored the second goal, Jordan Ito was subbed off, Ludo Heulot came on but he could not turn the tide.

EMPIRE AUTOMOTIVE FC
THE CHAMPS
Fans are expecting some good performances from the team who won the national league in convincing fashion


Empire Automotive FC won the national league in a convincing fashion following emphatic and ruthless displays against some of the top teams such as A.F.C. Light and Gales United they hope to perform well in the IOUFF cup of champions starting here.

The first game was against Neptune FC. The game did not start well with star defender Ben Acrena getting sent off in the 4th min. but things did get better when star forward Nate Kuroa poked in from close range in the 17th min to give empire the lead. nothing much happened until neptune struck back and levelled in the 36th min. half time came and went and to the shock of everyone Neptune scored a second in the 58th min. Neptune managed to hold on for the rest of the game to win.
Final Score: Empire Automotive FC 1 - 2 Neptune FC
Attendance: 33,245

The second game was against A.F.C. light the other cup of champions team.The game was very back and fourth until light opened the scoring in the 26th min. but empire levelled quickly with a goal in the 31st min through a penalty from Nate Kuroa. Light started to dominate possession at one point controlling 70%. Empire looked like they had a chance when a light defender got sent off in the 81st min but failed to convert the following penalty. and then in the 89th min a.f.c. light scored to the joy of the light fans.
Final Score: Empire Automotive FC 1 – 2 A.F.C. Light
Attendance: 37,534

Following the two consecutive defeats morale was low and in need of a boost against Gales United who were hoping to pull off a shock following empires two defeats.
The game started slowly with the first goal coming after the break with Ben Acrena scoring in the 55th min. empire continued to press but gales scored on the counter in the 72nd min. It looked like the game was going to end in a draw but in the 85th min but a foul in the box resulted in a empire penalty. Nate Kuroa stepped up to take it and slotted it in the top corner to give empire a late win.
Final Score: Empire Automotive FC 2 – 1 Gales United

Empire fans will be annoyed at the losses is the first two games but will be hopeful following the improvement in the third game. They are hopeful of a shock but they know it is unlikely. They look forward to participating in this magnificent tournament in the coming years.

[Harestria]

In order to prepare the Harestrian teams participating in the iOUFF Champions Cup, the Harestrian Football Federation has organized a new competition with the league and cup champions as well as two invited foreign clubs.



Four teams will fight for the super cup, Betusta-Sipo (League Champion), CCDE (Cup Champion), Al Fateh (Cherqstan) and Vergne Foot (Aix les Filles).

The format is simple, first two single-leg semi-finals will be played to determine the teams that fight for the championship, while the losing teams will play in the match for third and fourth place.

All matches will be played at the Harestria National Stadium located in the country's capital, Villanosotros.

The first match will be Betusta-Sipo vs Al Fateh, the other semifinal will be played by CCDE and Vergne Foot



SEMIFINALS



The opening match of the tournament was a rather boring game, possession was dominated at all times by Betusta-Sipo who also had the best chances, however, Al Fateh was going to score after taking a good free kick near the line midfield just before the end of the first half.

In the Second, Betusta-Sipo would try everything to bring down Al Fateh's defense, obtaining little success, since they only had a couple of clear chances coming from two corners.

Weak opening game that Al Fateh won thanks to its strong defense



The second game, unlike the first, would be much more entertaining, the CCDE was going to propose a style of play based on counterattacks, however Vergne's good passing game was going to frustrate all the plans of the local team at minute 10' of match, with this adverse result the local team was going to take the initiative of the match and this is how they would get the tie minutes before the end of the first half, reaching the break with a 1-1 on the scoreboard.

As the second half began, the CCDE tried to take the initiative and score the second goal, but the minutes passed and the Vergne defense could not pass despite the good chances. that both teams had very clear chances, Vergne managed to get ahead after a great long shot, minute 80' and the game was 1-2 in favor of the visitors, from this the CCDE went for it all and managed to avoid with a corner goal eliminated the team in minute 88', sending the game to extra time.

The extra time was completely dominated by the CCDE who had the best chances, however they would be unable to break down the good visiting defense and the match would go to a penalty shootout.

It was a very well-taken penalty shoot-out, the only mistake being that of the player who took the fourth penalty for Vergne who hit the post, allowing CCDE to advance to the final.



MATCH FOR THIRD AND FOURTH PLACE



The match began between the losers, the match that defined the third and fourth place in the tournament, Betusta-Sipo began managing possession following a similar script to the previous match where they lost to Al Fateh, however Vergne was not going to defend as much like the Cherqstan team and also sought to create their chances, achieving it in the 23rd minute thanks to a great touch play that ended up being a clear penalty in favor of the visiting team that ended up inside the goal, 0-1 in favor of Vergne .

A disastrous first half ended for Betusta-Sipo in which the visitors had had most of the clear scoring chances, and deserved to win by one or two more goals, for the second half Betusta-Sipo made several tactical changes with the intention of winning the game, these changes washed the image of the team and it was Betusta-Sipo who dominated until minute 63' when they got the tie, after the goal, however, doubts returned to the red and black club and Vergne had two very clear occasions just before the end of regulation time.

Vergne was playing its second extra time in a short time and that was noticeable in the fatigue of its players, with the team very close to its own goal, Vergne was lucky to come out of overtime alive, highlighting the excellent performance of its goalkeeper who took many clear chances.

Luck fell in favor of Betusta-Sipo on penalties, winning the shootout 3-2 against a combative Vergne who again had bad luck shooting from 11 metres.



FINAL



The grand final of the Super Cup was played on a pleasant afternoon at the Harestria National Stadium, the atmosphere in the stands was spectacular, selling around 30,000 tickets, including the presence of a notable number of fans from the visiting team.

The game was very entertaining at first with some dangerous chances for both clubs, however, the CCDE soon showed their dominance and scored very often in minutes 23' and 28' to finally finish the game before the break with a good goal in minute 39', the first half ended with a resounding 3-0 in favor of the locals.

In the second half, Al Fateh would do everything on their part to turn the result around, without much success since a great defense by the CCDE would prevent any real chance of danger, frustration would end up invading the minds of the visiting players and at the end of the game a horrible tackle was going to start a small fight between players of the two teams, the player who made the tackle, as well as a player from Al Fateh were sent off shortly before the end of the match. Al Fateh would convert a goal in 90+2' that would not prevent CCDE from finishing as SUPERCUP CHAMPION.




ANALYSIS OF THE HARESTRIAN TEAMS

The competition was very different for the two teams, while Betusta-Sipo was shown to be a team with a very ineffective possession game, the direct football of the CCDE turned out to be efficient at all times.

Cup of Champions - Before the Tournament
The IOUFF Cup of Champions is right around the corner. After a season with surprises at every turn, two teams will be heading to the Cup. Northfield, winner of the league and consistent top finisher, and Phenix United, who have came out of nowhere to win not only second place in the league, but also the Brewster Cup, qualifying them for their first Cup of Champions. Phenix United has been a team that has surprised many in recent years, only playing their first A-League game in 2020. The two teams faced off in a match against each other for the Winners' Trophy, with Northfield winning 5 - 3, but they have also prepared in other ways. Here is how both teams have gotten here and are preparing for the tournament.

Northfield
Since their unbeaten season in 2019, Northfield have been considered guaranteed to qualify to the Cup of Champions, and this season is no different. Finishing at the top of the A-League once again, a strong and high-scoring side filled with national team stars looks promising to go far in this tournament. Training out of the national team-shared Avon Sports Complex in Southern Newbern, the team are confident for this cup. Northfield played friendlies against all the teams that have finished in the top 5, being the already metioned Phenix United, Brightwater FC, Brantley FC, and Auburn City. This is how the games turned out, minus the already mentioned game between Northfield and Phenix:
Brightwater FC 4 - 3 Northfield
Brantley FC 2 - 1 Northfield
Northfield 3 - 0 Auburn City

The results were unexpected for many Northfield fans. A bitter Brightwater FC team, that are missing out on their first Cup of Champions that the nation competed in, managed to narrowly beat the Newbern side, with Right-Winger Stefan Koloski scoring in the 89th minute to win the game for Brightwater.

A youthful Brantley FC side were able to win against Northfield as well, with Striker Leonardo Castelli scoring 2 goals for the team, also from Newbern.

The only team that Northfield were able to win a game against were the aging side of Auburn City. The team, once a powerful top 3 side, was barely able to get 5th in the most recent season. Unlike Brightwater and Brantley, who scored plenty of goals, Auburn City was unable to score a single goal. Northfield decisively won 3 - 0 and brought back some hope from fans going into the Cup of Champions.

Despite a world-class front 4, Northfield's defence has been said to be not as well put together. This is likely why Northfield lost 2 of their 4 games against teams that were well below them in the league table. Exceptions are the acclaimed goalkeeper Jayden Davis and national team captain Aaron Brown. Nontheless, Northfield is a promising team in the cup.

Phenix United
Phenix United is one of the biggest underdog success stories in recent New Narsian football memory. The team, formerly known as Phenix SC, was founded out of a budget pizza shop in the Phenix city centre in 2006. Phenix United did not have a proper stadium to play in until 2015, finally constructing the small Riverside Park. The side was one of the 20 that were picked to be a part of the first season of the B-League in 2019, then known as Division 2. The team's manager since then, former midfielder Paul Banks, is practically a saint in the eyes of Phenix football fans. The club soon rocketed up into the top half of the A-League, and came second this season, also winning the Brewster Cup. Phenix narrowly beat out decorated side Brightwater FC for the second spot. The future looks bright for the young club.

The friendly results for Phenix United are:
Brightwater FC 2 - 1 Phenix United
Phenix United 1 - 0 Brantley FC
Phenix United 2 - 0 Auburn City

Brightwater FC, despite finishing behind the two teams, were able to win both of their games. Phenix were able to put up a fight against the side, but weren't able to get a draw after an unlucky miss from Attacking Midfielder Kade Mathis.

Phenix United were able to win against Brantley FC, however. Only one goal was scored, a penalty that was successfully taken by striker Johnny Toure.

Their final match, against Auburn City, resulted in a 2 - 0 win for Phenix. Goals were scored by both strikers, Johnny Toure and Joseph Romero. The game was memorable for an incredible save by Phenix goalkeeper Branden Blanchard, saving a top corner shot by Auburn City player Jonathan Gray.

Phenix United's squad is a collage of players that have been with them for their whole, albeit short, professional life, and players they have bought recently, often on free transfers due to a low amount of money for an A-League side. Despite the team not being as polished as Northfield, and having to train at the same place they always do, Phenix United is a surprisingly solid side. Solid enough to beat former league champions Brightwater FC in the league. Although Northfield is the obvious favourite out of the two teams, Phenix United's low expectations give them an interesting edge over their counterparts down south. Phenix United are a team to watch going into the cup.

We have seen the teams perform well on the national stage. It is now time to see how they will perform on the international stage against the best teams from the Island of Union. The tournament has many well established teams that are famously hard to beat, however time will tell how Northfield and Phenix United will play against these clubs and many more from the region.

[Aix les Filles]

The supporters of both Salon Olympique and Fc Mirabeau where very happy with the performance of the respective clubs, FC Mirabeau became first in their group, played against Empire automotive FC , AFC Light, AFC Geminy, won four games, drew one and lost one game, a stellar performance by the Boys in red..



Salon Olympique ended up second place and qualified, it felt like the experienced players had to carry the team at times, while the talented youngsters like Javi Santos and Jordan Ito are brilliant at times, sometimes they aren't as reliable as the Experienced players Like Romain Faré, Prince Karim and Mohamed Hwash, but it looks like Manager of Salon, Gerard Cottilion has it well figured out as Salon progresses.


Not their Season.
IOUFF Cup of Champions 4 Winners FC Roman failed to make it out of the group stage, we of the Gazette expected FC Roman to do well yet again, but they won only two matches, against Al Ain SC and west Mountain Union FC, we are sure they will be back next season.



Flawless
The Red Eagle SC, high quality performance against top teams in Group three has shocked many, winning all their matches, CCDE who impressed in the pre-tournament didn't make it out of the group phase. All eyes are on the Red Eagle now as they are now the favorites to win the IOU COC once again

[Krbustan]

The West Mountain Union FC managed to rise after it was facing difficulties, in the last round, had it not been for FC Roman’s defeat in the last round, West Mountain Union would not have reached the quarter-finals.

Red Eagle SC reached the quarter-finals with an exceptional performance, as it did not lose any match and won all its six matches. The team hopes to be able to reach the final and achieve the dream that was delayed more than a season.

After his absence from the first round, the player, Mustafa Ghraib will return to the quarter-finals. It is reported that the player suffers from a serious injury that caused him not to participate in matches this season.

[Harestria]

HISTORICAL!

Good performance in the participation of the Harestrian clubs in the IOUFF Champions Cup, Betusta-Sipo managed to pass without great trouble in group B of the Championship, the army club, however, had a poor performance, especially in the attack, despite them, got a meritorious third place in the group. Also noteworthy was the passage of Lértolas Galder in the second continental competition, the IOUFF Cup, where they came first in the group and fell in the semifinals.






Excited! This is how we could describe the general feeling of the fans of Betusta-Sipo, a team that in the preseason gave bad sensations in the Harestrian Super Cup, however, the team knew how to recover and stood out in the group stage with 5 wins and only one defeat, also being the team that has scored the most goals in the cup, the future is hopeful for the Betusta team, Pablo Iglesias, the team's coach, said the following: ''We have finally managed to find our identity as a team, our performance in the Super Cup and in the first game against West Mountain Union we didn't know how to behave like the team we are, the team that won the league alone last year, certain changes had to be made, but we finally found the key, and we chained 5 wins in a row in this Cup, we have achieved in our first participation a meritorious performance in the Cup, from now on we have to dream and everything that has to come will come''






Poor performance by the CCDE in the IOUFF Champions Cup, the team that was very solid at the back was unable to score, achieving it only in 2 games, the first performance of the team in the competition cannot be considered as bad, since the team fought all matches and got good points against teams that on paper may be better and with more experience in international matches, however, the impeccable performance of Betusta-Sipo passing as first with enough ease, makes the taste of this cup for the CCDE is quite bitter, the fans are now waiting for the league, if the CCDE does not win the league and Betusta-Sipo does, despite obtaining the Super Cup, there may be a debacle in the internal environment of the CCDE, let us remember that the last 4 leagues have fallen at the hands of the red and black club.






For its part, the team from the island, Lértolas Galder, has also achieved a great performance in the IOUFF Cup, winning group B to finally fall in the semifinals and then in the match for third and fourth place, the sensation in the club It's good and coach Marcos Aguirretxe hopes to have a good performance in the league to qualify for the tournament again and matbe give a good surprise in the cup.
