Matchday 3 vs Kuraita was seen as a bright spot for the B-Team as Cristiano's choices were seen as well picked for a lower-difficulty team. Headers by Duarte and Pillpe in the first half saw the HUElavians enjoying the match, with the crowd jumping around to make the stadium rumble. A tap-in from Vaskevičius early in the 2nd half gave Kuraita and its supporters some hope that they could rebound. Although, two spectacular solo goals from Aveiro was enough to put the game away and give HUElavia the 3 points.
At the moment, HUElavia leads Group C, and will be playing against their 2nd biggest test in the group against famous rivals TJUN-ia. The Jaguars are favorites for the game, but Los Amarillos/Os Amarelos are looking to put up a fight and give it their best. More than likely, the winner of the match would be taking a big step towards qualifying for the Round-of-32, and both teams are hungry for that spot. The A-Team returns to play, where Cristiano hopes that the team's motivation and form can stand up to the test. Thousands of HUElavians will be flocking to the stadium to support the team, with their traditional swarming of an entire endzone, and it's expected about 48% of the stadium will be HUElavians. Here's to hoping that the team can get points against this major rival.
FORCA HUELAVIA! VAMOS HUELAVIA! GO HUELAVIA!
