Up against the best side in the league, we knew we were in for a tough game. The Oppo started quickly and scored early in the half with a soft goal. But we immediately stepped our levels up and started creating chances. We had lots of possession and some good chances but couldn’t get the ball over the line. A ruled out goal for a questionable offside from a knockdown at a corner was as close as we came.

And as we continued to press and put the oppo under pressure, the keeper whacked the ball upfield after catching a corner and a couple of seconds later we found ourselves 2-0 and the half time whistle blew.

We came out for the second half and again were on top only to concede from a corner against the play. At 3-0 We didn’t give up and a few minutes later after some good passing Musa found Saghar to slot home. At 3-1 and only 10 minutes of the second half played we felt the game was still on. But another soft goal 10 minutes later and the match was over, leaving time for the oppo to score another couple to make it 6-1.

A frustrating game that could have been so different and where we bizarrely outplayed the oppo for long periods but couldn’t score and found ourselves losing heavily. Inshallah we go again next week.
