Starting the run-in
Posted by: Greg Downs in Caracciolo, goal replay, tags: Caracciolo, goal replayEarlier this season when I played Spurs, neither of us were challenging for promotion and/or the championship, and thus I played the game with relaxed attention—the best way to play PES. I won that game 1-0, but it was close.
Now the return fixture in the second half of the season… and I was all over Spurs, dominating possession, having four times as many shots/shots on target, and running out the 2-1 winner.
I was 2-0 up until the 85th minute when (familiar story, this) they ‘won’ a corner and then auto-scored a header, making the last five minutes ‘tense and exciting’. I have almost no words left for this kind of thing. Curse you Seabass, etc.
After the game was finished, my Team Popularity went up to ‘B’:

Next up were Villarreal, who I find to be a funny team, in the sense that they’re unpredictable and a bit strange.
The game ended 1-1. I took the lead with this very nice clipped diving header from Caracciolo:
But then in the dying moments of the game Villarreal got a corner, and scored from it. Sigh.
The next game was against the current league leaders, Espanyol.
I beat them easily, working off a lot of pent-up frustration: Singers FC 5-1 Espanyol. Kmolo scored a hat trick. (Espanyol’s solitary goal came late in the game—from a corner…)
And that result boosted me up to 1st place. I’m top on goal difference with 5 games to go. Come on you Singers…
