Richmond CIU 4 Westside 4 (4 - 2 on PK's)
Westside gifted us a first goal after they rung one off the post from distance....keeper kind of dropped it into the goal from a corner.....Swede Sensation scores a laser from 30 yards to go up 2 - 0....had a great chance to go up 3 - 0 but chance put over the bar.....
Westside scored 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the half....both on gifts...similar to the one we got......
We go up 3 - 2 on a great counter-attack....striker gets to nifty ball from the flank rounds the keeper and walks the ball into the goal........then we managed to score a cracker of an own goal.......clearance which sliced into the goal....
Westside goes up 4 - 3 on a clinical finish from a girl who should have been sent off for thuggery......yes, it was a blatant attempt behind the ref's back...but what comes around always seems to go around.....
With 2 minutes to go and 4 up front we get a free-kick....Swede Sensation hits it, keeper tips it off the bar and Sari Raber follows up with the goal.
Westside won the penalty shootout...
Certainly an entertaining game in terms of goals but it was disappointing to give the goals up like we did.....back to training pitch where we must learn to put pressure on the ball higher up the field when opponents are attempting to counter-attack, which is something Westside does well.
