We finally played well when it counted. Credit to Ravens for playing till the final whistle. We were up 1-0 at the half on a free-kick from 30 yds out, their goalie wasn't ready for it and our guy picked the low corner. They really missed their regular goalie, would've been much closer if he was there. We scored 5 mins into the second half on a deadly shot from 25 yds out (same guy), pinged another corner. We made it 3-0, then they replied on a weak goal. Our GK was expecting the ball to bounce to him, it hit the sand and megged him. Ugly from the sidelines, but great game otherwise by our keeper. We had a guy sent off for a second yellow, soft call, but it happens. We made it 4-1 on a pk and they replied on a nice set up and finish to make it 4-2. The ref was excellent today. I didn't get his name, but I think he played sweeper for Temple (div 1) last year before breaking his leg. At least that's what our guys were saying. We're still only playing for 80 mins, and then panicking late, but I'm sure things will change soon. We're just getting into sync now, and hopefully it's not too late to catch WFC. Good hard game by both teams, but only one team could rule the roost today
and it was us.
