Second half I made some changes and played some fantastic football.
My third goal was a stunner!
Gilberto made an unbelievable run down the right wing, passed the through ball to Kaka who could have shot easily but prefered instead of making another through ball to Adriano who chipped the ball above the Chinese GK's head.
Quality goal!
I even saved a replay of it and I rarely do save replays.
My defense was pretty crap at the second half as I was trying to play stunning football so I let in a goal with a header.
And in the final minutes Alex made a through ball to Kaka who scored his second of the match. Nice goal.
What I noticed is that Alex is a quality player. First time I used him and he was TOPS!!!!
