Despite having to make a number of changes to the team this week, we immediately began strong and began creating chances. Adrian and Rad on their full starting debuts were connecting with the team well and moving the ball nicely. We made the pressure tell and went 1-0 up after a good move down the right that saw Musa strike the ball low and hard into the bottom right from the edge of the box. We maintained the pressure but couldn’t capitalise and conceded a soft goal to go in 1-1 at half time.

Into the second half and we continued to dominate with Adrian and Hash combining well down the left throughout. We just lacked the cutting edge and last bit of quality to create those clean-cut chances.

And as we’ve seen this season, if we don’t put teams away, they can snatch games away from us. And that’s what happened and another soft goal from across left us 2-1 down.

A long way to go this season and inshallah we’ll keep learning and keep coming back harder.
