Norvan-3
Meralomas - 3
The 'Lomas got a great start and had a 2 goal lead at halftime. A 10min tally saw a corner of theirs careen off a defending Norvan player. Their 2nd goal came right before half on a goal kick that was collected by a 'Loma winger and quickly turned around for an odd man rush and the delivery into the box was slotted home.
Shitty feeling after 45mins being down a couple of goals after not playing a horrible half and given that we were playing without our starting center D and our starting mid.
Anyways...Halftime, pep talk, pull the socks up...blah, blah, blah...etc..and off we go for another 45.
The field began to tilt our way early in the 2nd half and we were rewarded with an 'Loma own goal off a cross that bounced from our player to theirs and into goal. A momentum shift that led to a tying goal and a go-ahead goal at about the 75min mark....
At about the 10min mark, the wheels on the Norvan bus started getting wobbly literally and figuratively and this opened the door for some increased pressure from the 'Lomas who began pushing for the tying goal. With less than 2 minutes to go one of the Norvan center backs had both calves lock up and was subsequently replaced with some colder legs. Sure enough, a minute later....turnover on a play we did not need, ball is pushed down the wing with said player who had entered the field unexpectedly, late on a wet rainy night, a 'Loma turns the defender and gets into the 18 and unleashes a right footed shot that finds the net. 20 sec's after the ensuing kickoff the final whistle sounds.
Both teams left the field wondering how those extra 2 points slipped away.
Home to the Bulldogs this week...still looking for that first victory.
