League Match #6

Another tough away fixture against one of our nearest rivals. After defending some early set pieces, we started attacking the opposition.

Against the run of play, Goldfingers intercepted the ball just outside the box and scored in off the post. We almost got back level straight after a superb run by rehan and through ball, which saw Mitz round the keeper, but his shot was deflected past the post.

We weren’t at our fluid best, but kept probing and were rewarded when Rehan followed up Mitz’s hold up play and fired us level. We went up the gears and a good finish from Kam on the left-hand side took us 2-1 up.

We continued to create chances and had chances to put the game away. In typical fashion we were caught when a set piece was not cleared, the ball popped up for the Goldfingers centre back, who scored a low bicycle kick.

We continued to push for the win but in another break away, Zar kept us level with a superb fingertip save that bounced off the underside of the bar, and in the same passage of play we went up the other end and mItz having rounded the defenders and keeper saw his shot hit cannon the crossbar and bounced over

It finished 2-2 in the end and was a fair result for both sides

We remain top with 5 wins and 1 draw and the best defensive record in the league
