Before the match against Rova the odds were again Seoul, with them possibly hoping to scrape a result or just compete against the team sitting in 3rd.
After the match they can consider themselves slightly unlucky, losing 2-0 but creating the better chances but just not taking them. With a 2.44xg vs 1.71xg, no goals is a surprise but praise has to go to Schwarzer who made a couple of important saves to stop Seoul from scoring and potentially stopping the momentum they seemed to have gained throughout the first 70+ minutes.
Cue Jr and Schuurmans eventually got the two goals for Rova that propelled them to victory, which has all but secured 3rd for them in the division.
Seoul however will take great heart from the match, having created the better chances (with less possession) and starting to show the promise they have and maybe even kick start it towards next years campaign.
First things first however, they will not want to finish in the wooden spoon position in the table, currently held by Athenai. With their last two matches against Cairo and Montréal, they will need two wins and hope Montréal lose their other fixture against Athenai to ensure they leap into 4th place. With 5th place looking the most likely finishing spot, the words before the season being heard around the building was "Rebuild season" and that has certainly come to fruition so at least their place in the table isn't a complete shock to the players or management.
They will have a very important off-season to make sure the rebuild doesn't last longer than it needs to but many sources have speculated that the right people are in the right positions behind the scenes to make a real difference to the team and organisation as a whole. Catalunya in the majors can attest to that feeling.
