London, England

With Inter London getting a bye last week, the schedule was fairly tight this week. Inter London had a total of three games, but two of those games were against two of the top teams in the division. They knew going into this week that this was going to be an important stretch in the middle of the season. A few wins could extend their lead at the top of the division, but a few losses could have them right back in the dogfight.

Matchday 7 saw Inter London suffer a defeat to Masques Sacres 2-1. Daibhi Barr was the lone goal scorer for the London side. The game was very tight with not a lot of shots between the sides. Unfortunately, the early deficit was too much for London, who were out-possessed throughout the game. Joao Mendes finished the game with a 6.6 rating and a yellow card to his name. He did have 3 of the team's 12 shots, along with 1 key pass.

Matchday 8 saw Inter London suffer another loss 3-2 to Cairo City. Arthur Cain and London Supersub both got on the scoresheet. This was one of those games that London wanted back. They had 3.6 expected goals compared to 1.4 for Cairo and dominated possession. That's how the game goes sometimes. Joao Mendes finished the game with a 7.4 match rating, one assist and one shot. Benjamin Munro was injured in the match, so the team is hoping for a speedy recovery as he is such an important part of their success.

Matchday 9 saw Inter London find their way back in the win column with a thumping 5-1 win against CD Alfama. Benjamin Munro, coming back from his injury, scored a hat-trick; Chris McZehrl scored a penalty, and Ryan O'Neill added another. This was more like it for the London side, who needed this win to keep pace with the top teams. Mendes finished with a 7.0 rating but played a much more defensive game, as he let the offensive players carry the game.
