Mighty Blackpool registered a vital victory on Monday at the Angola field in a derby match against FC Johanson 2-1 after a tough battle.
Before the match, the league leaders were leading Blackpool with 8 points in the league table. The victory against Johansen cut down the lead to 5 points with the first round of the league yet to come to an end.
After the victory on Monday, the players said they will live no stone unturned and there will be no breathing space for the league leaders until they overtake them at the top.
Blackpool’s brilliant performance in the league is backed by extra financial support by the team’s executive. To any victory registered, the players will get a cash bonus over Le13M old currency.
This motivation has led them to put more effort into any match they play. According to the players, they want to maintain their winning spree until they face the league leaders with that high zeal to cut down the points to 2 points if the leaders themselves continue to win.
The Tis Tas Boys have played 12 matches won 7 matches, drew 4 and lost only one match. The league leaders have to maintain the record in the league after winning 9 matches played and drew 3 matches.
Apart from the points, Blackpool have scored 19 goals, 8 goals against while Bo Rangers have 16 goals in favor and 6 goals against.
The two teams are yet to meet in the league as such they are yet to face each other both home and away. Blackpool’s traditional arch-rivals East End Lions are in 3rd position, 5 points behind Blackpool and 10 points behind the league leaders. Three clubs are 1 and 2 points different behind Lions in the league.
