With the second leg against Wolfsburg up midweek, I chose to select a slightly weaker side for this match. “Jarhead” makes his first team debut.

We put in a bad first half and had to bring on the big guns in the second half. In the end two goals from “Benny Jets” did the damage and we escaped with a draw.
