Vancouver Jaguars 1 West Coat FC Impact 2
The game started with the Impact scoring within the first 30 seconds. Our ladies didn't even have a chance to touch the ball before they had it in the back of the net. We fell asleep and we have no excuse for it. It was a great shot top corner.
It was a battle, and with us having no subs, we knew it was going to be a long game against a very good team. We had to play smart and make sure to have possession. We were able to capitalize about 25 minutes in when our girl slammed home a rebound. With about 5 minutes to go in the first half, our team decided to take a nap and give them another shot at me from the top of the 18 and she made no mistake. I had no chance on this goal either...another great shot. They literally had 2 shots on me and they both went in. Both great crackers!
2nd half was a battle. At one point their striker came in on me HARD and while the ball was in my hands she gave me good stiff right boot to the gut. It was as if she was taking a shot so there was no let off at all. She was carded for it and not even an apology. As i look up after catching my breath, she is standing there smiling at me. Unbelievable!
We had a few great chances but just couldn't bury it. At one point with only a few minutes remaining, our girl got a shot off from close range and it almost squeaked through the goalies arm and we are still shocked that she held onto it.
It was an intense game and our girls played hard for the full 90 minutes.
It is unfortunate that we were missing about 5 of our girls. A sub here and there might have been the answer as we had a few girls cramping up, a couple who haven't played 90 minutes all season, so it took its toll, but everyone battled as hard as they could.
Next game is vs. CCB Ajax...a MUST win!
