The Serbian White Eagles opened the new season with a draw. They finished with a score of 1: 1 (0: 0) against a solid team; SC Waterloo. The Eagles played solid and they were the better team, but in the end they were satisfied with one point because when you miss so many chances, it means a punishment is usually coming. Eagles started with eight players who also started and won last year’s finale, so it is more than likely that our team this year will play well again this year.
