Alexander Park 3 Wingate & Finchley 4

Fantastic second half performance

Today’s squad Frankie , Jack, James, Edonis, Hyde, Harry, Saul, Connor, Jed, Gabe, Morris , Sam, Tommy and Daniel

First half started with us under pressure quick balls wide were pushing us deep into our own half. There first shot went just wide.

After ten minutes the goal the threatened to score finally came a ball over the top and was finished well 1.0

However literally a minute later and it was all even, Morris held the ball upfront and poked it forward to Gabe who ran on and slotted the ball home 1.1

Next big chance went to AP who broke down the middle and unleashed a shot which Frankie tipped on to the cross bar.

Another chance came there way but Frankie was up to the challenge diving full length to his left and actually pushing it out for a throw on .

Ten minutes to go an AP won a free kick on our right. A cross / shot found the bottom left corner 2.1

Heads did not drop and straight away we were on attack first Morris hooked a shot back towards goal which the keeper made a fantastic save in the top left corner. From the resulting corner Morris managed to get his head on the delivery and it rattled the bar. HT 2.1

Second half started and I felt straight away you took control of the game. We started to dominate in the middle and create chances Five minutes later Morris got the goal he deserved and scored after good work from Sam down the right. 2.2

With Sam and Tommy causing problems down the flanks we seemed to create a few half chances, but the ball would not drop to us . However against the run of play we were to go behind again, a bit of slack passing and the ball fell to there forward who had a clear run on goal and put it past Frankie as he came out 3.2

Again you picked your selves up and went on the attack.

With twenty minutes to go the ball is on our left and it was played back to Edonis in his own half, he looked up and spotted the keeper off his line and “Beckhamesqu” he launched it towards the goal it sailed over the keeper and initially I thought over the bar but no it dropped just under the bar or did he just smash a clearance either way 3.3

From he on we took control and I always felt the more likely to score .

Harry soon got a chance to put us ahead from a break away corner, he shot early as the keeper rushed out only to roll the wrong side of the post.

Gabe broke down the left and cut in past the defender to bare down on goal. The keeper came out well and block it for a corner.

From the corner as the ball was cleared it fell to Connor who’s shot was going bottom corner only for a defender to get a last second block.

Saul had the ball in the net but it was ruled out for offside in the build up after good interplay between him and Gabe.

Finally the goal came Jed won the ball back down our right . He drove into the box and poked it towards goal as the keeper came out. Gabe followed in , just in case but said the ball was over the line before he got a touch. 3:4

Harry and Gabe were both unlucky not to add to the goals in the last five minute FT 3:4

MoTM : The second was a great performance by all of you , however today it went Edonis for not only having a great game in the centre of defence and scoring an unbelievable goal….. well done
