Although Sihetz pulled back a goal in the second half, this did not change the final outcome. Leeds defeated them 2:1 at their home court.
In this round of league upsets, Leeds can beat Sihetz 2:1 at home as a good result:
The number one Stan Park Rangers ushered in their first defeat of the season. They even lost 1:2 to the twelfth place Abion on their home court.
Manchester Sports shook hands with the 14th Highlanders 2:2 on the road.
London Bridge lost to the 17th ranked London Mars 0:1 at home.
Tramed was drawn at home by the newly promoted Holt 2:2, and the latter only ranked sixteenth.
Warship Port also failed to win, and they played 2:2 away with the 19th-placed Petersburg United.
The only teams in the top seven were Leeds City and Wiggiston who won this round.
Although the Stan Park Rangers lost the ball, they still ranked first with 37 points: their points advantage is too great, even if they lose a round of the league, the impact is actually not big.
In other words, the main impact is on the psychological level, rather than on the points ranking-the first defeat in the league made the Stan Park Rangers unbeaten record of 30 consecutive league rounds across the seasons. This is something that makes Stan Park Rangers fans very unwilling. And regretful results.
Since the 21st round of last season, the Stan Park Rangers lost 1:2 away to Manchester Athletic. They have remained unbeaten in the league and won the league title last season as they wished. After entering the new season, the first 13 league rounds were also unbeaten, with 12 wins and one tie, and the momentum was amazing.
Also took advantage of the trend to create the longest consecutive unbeaten record in club history.
Everyone hoped that the Stan Park Rangers could break the 48 consecutive unbeaten Premier League records set by Trent at the turn of the century twenty-five years ago-the record was set by Trent in the 1999-2000 season, spanning After two centuries (people thought that 2000 was the beginning of a new century), it was also called "the undefeated century".
Trent, who created the "undefeated in the century", has experienced bankruptcy and has already fallen into the British crown, and is currently hopeless to upgrade. But the record they set is still the longest unbeaten record in the top league in the history of English football, and no one has been able to shake it so far.
Fans of the Stan Park Rangers had hoped that their team could do it, so that they could be worthy of the media who clamored about the "dynasty" all day long.
The result was ended in only thirty rounds. This result did not even rank in the top five of the unbeaten record in the top league in England... it was just a hip.
This was a fatal blow to the face of Stan Park Rangers fans.
Manchester Sporting had 27 points in an away draw with the Highlanders and was overtaken by Leeds City, who had 28 points in the win.
So Leeds City once again became second in the league, while Manchester Athletic returned to third place.
This is the fourth time that the two teams have repeatedly seen the second and third positions, and the competition is fierce.
At the same time, it also shows that it is reasonable for Manchester Athletic fans to still be dissatisfied with the team's performance after winning the last round. It is not that they are hypocritical-Manchester Athletic's performance this season is indeed not stable enough.
Since the 14th round of the league, Manchester Athletic has not been able to win three consecutive league rounds.
Win one game and tie one game, win one game and lose one game, win two games and lose one game, win two games and tie one game...
In this way, the performance is the same as riding a roller coaster, whoever changes to become a Manchester Sports fan will be unhappy.
And in many cases, the opponents they lose are the lower-ranked mid-lower teams.
For example, in the fifth round of the league, they lost 2:3 away to Petersburg United, which was ranked second to last.
In the eighth round, he lost 0:2 at home to Waldhampton, who was ranked 15th at the time.
You can't win against a weaker team. At best, it's the same as Leeds, robbing the rich and the poor. However, they did not win the three matches against their direct competitors Stan Park, Leeds City, and North London Rangers: Athletic Manchester:
One loss and two ties. Lost to the Stan Park Rangers, and was tied by Leeds City and North London Rangers.
This is the direct cause of Manchester Athletic being dumped by the Stan Park Rangers by double digits in points this season.
As for Tramed, London Bridge, Warship Harbor, and North London Wanderers, the four BIG6 teams, their performance this season is even worse, even worse than Manchester Athletic. Otherwise, they wouldn't be crushed by Leeds.
The Wanderers in North London are particularly bad, and now they are simply out of seven.
The first place in the league is the Stan Park Rangers. They are nine points ahead of second place Leeds, but the lead has been chased from double digits to single digits. The third place is Manchester Athletic with 27 points, the fourth place is Tramed with 24 points, the fifth place is Vijayston with 24 points, the sixth place is London Bridge with 23 points, and the seventh place is Warship Harbor 2. Eleven points.
After the 14th round of the league, the bookmaker updated the winning odds of each team. Although the Stan Park Rangers are still the most promising team, their odds have slightly increased.
Leeds, on the other hand, has lost one thousand from the previous one, which has been greatly reduced to one hundred for one loss!
This odds means that they have changed from "completely impossible to win" to "maybe there is a little chance to win."
This is an amazing improvement!

When Neil Mullin, the truck driver with a Leeds City team scarf around his neck, pushed open the company's lounge door again, he could feel that everyone's eyes were different from the previous ones.
"Hi, Neil, congratulations! It looks like you really have a chance to win the super prize!" A colleague raised his hand to greet Mullin.
This time they didn't have the yin and yang strangeness, and these words were definitely not ironic of Mullin.
Although the odds of losing one hundred are still very high, compared with the one to five thousand at the beginning of the season, Leeds is getting closer to the almost impossible goal with actual performance...
In the past, when others questioned Leeds’ victory, Mullin always shrugged and asked: "Why not?"
Use this kind of approach to defend your hometown team.
Now it's another attitude-he waved his hands: "I don't care if Leeds City can win the championship, I am very satisfied with the performance of the team now and cannot ask for more."
Andy Warman, a Tramed fan next to him, snorted, "Hypocritical!"
Mullin smiled: "Yes, the fans of the small team have never seen the world. They are scared enough to be ranked second in the league. I am afraid that they will collapse next. In order not to disappoint me too much, I can only reduce Standard, as long as it can be relegated! Andy, Leeds City’s goal for this season has been clear from the beginning-we are a relegation team."
"Damn, I'm second in the league and I'm still trying to relegation! Isn't this hypocrisy?" Warman yelled.
"Then what do you want us to say, Andy? "Yes, our goal is to compete for the championship!" Then after we are finally squeezed out of the top six, you must laugh at us for not being able to do our best. Okay, Andy , I know your trick very well, so don't take it out." Mullin waved his hand and went to the drink cabinet to get a can of Coca-Cola.
Pulling apart with a bang, the sweet smell accompanied by the gas sprayed out, making Mullin feel refreshed and happy.
Andy Warman behind him was speechless.
In this round of the league, Tramed was tied at home by the newly promoted Holt. In the case of other strong teams losing chains, ~EbookFREE.me~ also failed to make further progress.
This makes Warman even more upset, feeling that he can't lift his head especially in front of Leeds City fans Mullin.
He can only think in his heart: I don't believe that your momentum can continue! Christmas is coming, and the schedule is intensive around the New Year, and Leeds, which has no lineup depth advantage at all, how will it fight against the giants? Now the results are good, it is because your pre-season training reserve has not used up your physical fitness, you can make a dash. Wait until the second half of the season to watch again, then you will be in the right position!
Joe Erosd, who was once a mutual friend of the two, came out to complete the match:
It’s really hard to say that the league won the championship. Now the Stan Park Rangers are leading by nine points. Even if they lose a game, they just need to be normal. Even if you play, you can still defend your title successfully... It's the league scorer list, I think there may be no suspense..."
His words were echoed by others: "Yeah, Hu is in great form. To be honest, I really didn't expect him to have such a performance this season..."
"Hu's odds for winning the Premier League Golden Boot this season have fallen to one to six. This basically means that he has no suspense to win the Golden Boot!"
"It's terrible! Leeds really picked up the treasure this time! When they announced the signing of this player from China at the beginning of the year, I hadn't even heard the name of Hu... But now I can be there almost every week. I heard his name in media reports..."
Mullin did not say that he did not dare to expect Hu Lai to get the golden boots, but happily raised the Coke in his hand: "If Hu Zhen can get the golden boots, I will invite everyone to drink!"
"Oh--!!"
His words aroused cheers from colleagues in the lounge.
Amidst the cheers, Andy Warman sneered again and again.
