PLAYOFFS: Quarter Finals Results

The quarters are in the books, and not without some surprises.

Juventus vs Manchester United






LEG #1: Manchester United 0 @ Juventus 0

A goaless draw in the first leg between Juve and Man U marked the first 0-0 result in the history of the MFL. Man U played a perfect road game, leaving them only a home win away from reaching the semis.

LEG #2: Juventus 0 @ Manchester United 2

Man U took the second leg 2-0 at home to knock off Juventus and move on to face Fiorentina in the semis. Al claims to have been pretty "lucky" crediting his posts for helping him move past his brother. This marks a historic moment in the Sirianni brother relationship as it is Al's first victory over Marc since his birth in 1983.

AGGREGATE: Juventus 0 - Manchester United 2

Internazionale vs AC Milan






LEG #1: Inter 3 @ Milan 3

Del's take:
match was controlled by David in the first half. He scored in the 4th minute, but I quickly countered in the 6th. He had many chances throughout the first half and a few in the second. I think at half time David was up 2-1 or it was tied at 1's. In the second half, I got my quality chances and converted 1 to tie it up. David retook the lead but in the 75th. In the 80th, Eto'o chipped one over the goalie and that's how it ended.

LEG #2: Milan 4 @ Inter 9

I felt comfortable going into game 2 with 3 away goals. I felt a tie would be good enough considering my defense was pretty bad in the 1st match.

David once again got off to a quick start and scored in the 6th minute. I scored soon after - in the 15th minute - to tie it at 1's. David scored the next three pretty quickly. I was now down 4-1, not having the away goal advantage anymore. I scored before the end of the first half. 4-2. The break did me good as I regrouped and focused knowing I needed at least 3 goals and a win to move on.

The second half was pure domination. I control play 100%. It's hard to believe but I didn't let up another goal and scored 7. Eto'o was on fire...I had figured out David's defense and kept attacking. With the score 5-4 instead of playing defensive, I went more aggressive. It paid off as Eto'o likely scored 5 or 6 goals in the game.

AGGREGATE: Inter 12 - Milan 7

PLAYOFFS: Quarter Finals Preview

Here it is boys, the real league starts this week. As Fiorentina and Roma wait to see who their semi-final opponents will be, two quarter-final derbys will offer plenty of drama to kick off the playoffs.

Juventus vs Manchester United

Matchday 4:
Man U 1 - Juve 2
Matchday 9:
Juve 2 - Man U 1
The Sirianni brother derby is tilted heavily in favour of Marc who took both league games 2-1, but Alex has proven that he belongs and he has taken results from Marc in the past. Expect these games to divide a household.

Internazionale vs AC Milan

Matchday 4:
Inter 2 - Milan 1
Matchday 6:
Milan 3 - Inter 1
These two sides split their league matches with the slight edge in aggregate going to David. Still, Inter is coming off a strong end to the season so expect fireworks in both legs.
