Hello dear people and welcome back to a new newsreport brought to you from the second tier of Starsian football.
Last time we saw Lunar Prime take quite the lead in the league but they haven't won just yet, but other teams have to start doing their best now if they still want to have a shot at the title.
There is ten points between the first and second place, nothing is set in stone yet but a big lead is very comfortable and assuring for them.
Without further delay lets get into it though!
Alpine started playing better since they got from the last place, today Grand Celesta is their victim losing valuable points on the team and giving their opponents an advantage and Alpine an extra point.
No goals were scored and Alpine certainly showed a great bit of defence with their experienced squad.
Meanwhile Sazanaara beat Mangrove with two against one with a key role once again for South Newlandian Zachary Castillo scoring the winning goal and getting the full points for his team.
The South Newlandian has been the biggest surprise of the season and many bigger teams want to sign him since.
Demons Horn did beat Sandorius with the same score while Feida won against Phantom with a single lucky goal by Chavdar Aries.
Orpheus also suddenly won again, against the Crimson Hounds they proved to be too strong for them and capable of getting three much needed points for their team in the league.
Lastly was a draw between Fire Dragon and Lunar Prime both teams being unable to score against eachother.
Grand Celesta could celebrate a win again now, Fire Dragon was unable to beat them and one goal was enough to take all of the points home with them after an intense match with a thrilling end.
Further Lunar Prime once again played a draw surprisingly, this time with the Crimson Hounds defending themselves fiercely from the strong force that Lunar Prime is as a team with more talent then the average first tier team.
Orpheus managed to score some serious goals beating Phantom academy with five goals, Phantom managed to score two aswell but Orpheus just walked over them like it was nothing.
Feida won with big numbers too, four goals for against two goals from Sandorius giving them a well deserved win from a not too hard match.
Sazanaara won with one goal once again by Castillo bringing them closer to Lunar Prime again slowly but surely, Sazanaara has a strong team and is perhaps one of the only ones capable to pose a real threat to Lunar Prime.
Mangrove won simple against Alpine, Alpine is not in good shape this season and thats mainly because of their old players and physical disadvantage compared to younger teams.
Celesta started as always, this time with a one goal win on Mangrove who are pretty average but still not a bad team and it was a very equal match until Celesta scored and dominated the remaining time.
Alpine Academy takes a narrow loss against Demons Horn with a younger squad then Alpine and a stronger team overall they go through with three points goinh home with them placing them 6th in the current standings.
Sazanaara and Feida played a draw, both teams desperately need the points to catch up to Lunar Prime but were equally in strength with both being able to score three goals, great for the fans but not for the stats.
Sandorius managed to beat Orpheus, a match not important to give alot of credit too as they both have weak teams this season and are playing for nothing anymore then their own honor as a team.
Phantom surprised everyone by being the first team ever to win against Lunar Prime, it was no one else the Karina Crow a youth international who scored winning goal out of free kick and broke the unbeaten status of Lunar Prime, slowly but surely they are catching up to Lunar Prime and their advantage slowly turns into dust.
the Crimson Hounds lastly win against Fire Dragon with three against two goals, a good match of two decent teams.
Celesta won their match on the Crimson Hounds adding three more points to their score, they are in a solid third place and are still in the race for a promotion or even a championship if Lunar Prime doesn't get more points.
Phantom who won against Lunar Prime now loses against Fire Dragon getting put back in place by them with a neat goal from outside the box by Li Zheng a youngster from the youth league previously.
Lunar Prime lost alot of points but now even Sandorius manages to win against them with the help of the video referee, a penalty was given and from eleven meters they ofcourse didn't miss and it broke Lunar Prime's mentality, they were not able to equal the score making their advantage only two points.
Thats because Sazanaara after all did win their game, Castillo and Sunday shared the goals and managed to defeat a motivated Orpheus that still lacks in power to pose a serious threat to the top teams.
Feida wins an easy win on Alpine, they played lazily and let the old veterans run across the field before finally finishing it in the second half with a goal beating keeper Julia Bressing.
Lastly Mangrove takes more points and goes back to the top against after winning two nil against Demons Horn.
Celesta today finally takes the second place, after beating Demons Horn with three against two a loss from Sazanaara gives them the runners up position and a potential chance for promotion.
Mangrove is on a winning streak too, Feida is the victim losing with one goal to them by no one less then Adamson from Brookstation who proves himself to be a very good signing for the second tier team.
Orpheus against Alpine......two of the most worse teams have a match and still Alpine can't win, a two nil victory for Orpheus seals Alpine's fate and they after the match announced the coach would not get a new season already.
Alpine's club owner was furious to say at the very least.
Lunar Prime proved to be too strong for Sazanaara, it was the best match ever in the second tier with chances for both sides and great football but it was Ilona Frey who was signed from Phoenix's youth program who sealed the win for Lunar Prime.
Sandorius and Fire Dragon played a draw, nothing special two mediocre teams and no goals scored, pretty boring game and the fans had a waste of their money going to this match at all.
Phantom lost a second match in a row, crimson Hounds scored one goal and took the point, Phantom is a team with highs and lows this season and there is no telling what their real capability is.
Grand Celesta lost for the first time in a while, Phantom academy once again with Karina Crow scoring managed to defeat them making Phantom Academy a sort of a bad nightmare for strong teams.
Sandorius also had no good day, they lost against the Crimson Hounds and saw more points going away from them as they can't seem to find their real form this season despite some new players.
Sazanaara wins easily, Fire Dragon is beaten by a three goal diffrence with Castillo scoring a hattrick and Sunday scoring the fourth goal with only Li Zheng managing to atleast save the honor with one goal.
While on the other field Lunar Prime embarassed itself by losing against Alpine's old veterans with neither team scoring a goal, Lunar Prime despite their talent are a young team and the experienced veterans proved to be a challenge to them.
Orpheus won with a lucky goal on Mangrove and Feida did what it had to do against Demons Horn, win with two goals.
