This mid-table clash ended with the visitors heading back down the A6 with all three points in what was a challenging game for CSKA II.
Injuries and unavailability meant a small squad was available. Matt Danes and Chris McCafferty made their first CSKA II appearances of the season, whilst Josh McDougall kept his place in the team moving into the AMC role.
A ball over the top on 20 minutes bounced over the defence to give SLF an easy finish to make it 0-1, and a wonderstrike in first half injury time gave the vistitors a deserved two goal lead.
CSKA II defended well in the second half to keep the game interesting, and when Jonah Carroll was fouled inside the box, Andy Pettitt converted the resulting penalty to make it 1-2.
CSKA tried in vein to push for the equaliser, and acrobatic goal line clearance denied them, and unfortunately a third goal came in injury time to seal the points for South Leicester Foxes.
A well contested game on all accounts, CSKA II with work to do in the coming weeks.
We actually started the game well first 25, even going a goal down we had good shape and created a few chances but unlucky not to score. Final 20 minutes we looked so disjointed and honestly we where lucky not to go into half-time 5 goals down. But at 2-0 we still had a chance.
Second half we created some chances, but until we got a goal the game for us came alive and when we were pushing for an equaliser that was the best football we played.

Got called into our midfield and had to change positions a few times, drove with the ball and played some great passes through today.
