SKOV SCORES HIS FIRST SENIOR GOAL!
We made a few changes in the lineup for this one due to fatigue. Skov got trusted from the start. Adedeji had a rare start. Haas had to stay out due to a knock meaning he couldn't complete a full 90 mins. That did not seem to matter though. We were defensively superb. (admin note changed the difficulty to Ultimate).
1-0 to the AAB is becoming a familiar scoreline for AAB this season. What a time for Skovs first senior goal. Skov scored his first goal against giants Brondby in an early title decider to break the deadlock just before half time. In the 70th Min Widell made a superb tackle from their defender and played Jorgensen through who hit the ball straight at the keeper 1v1. That did not matter though because we won despite only having 32% of the ball.
Consecutive 1-0 wins making it a habit to win with that scoreline. Quite similar to my own career with Viborg. Of 11 home games in the regular season, I won 1-0 six times. Seems you're on a path to something similar, though you're doing it both home and away.

Indeed. Recently it seems we are relying on the GK to much though and we may be riding our luck a little too much to keep this up. Will remain to be seen but I am hoping we continue our surprise challenge.
It's how I always try to play the game - I try to keep it locked at the back, so that I have 0:0 in the bag most of the times. From there, I start looking for ways to find goals easier: when I'm playing Ajax I'm a little restricted (they'll always apply wing play and a single central striker), but with other teams I have more of a free hand.
It's the only thing I don't like about the modern game: in the older FIFA versions you could also do free-form tactics, uneven line-ups (a left back but not on the right; a right attacker but not on the left). This way I once developed a system without defenders at all: my backs were halves and my central defenders were controlling midfielders. But the effect was that you could truly force an opponent onto their own halves, playing with 50 metres of space in your back (did make you vulnerable for speedy counter attacks, though...)
