MYS BLACKS 1 SPARTANS 2
Last time we played Spartans stronger team, we were hammered 6-1 and played very poorly. Today, we competed well and were unlucky to be beaten by a good team.
The first half was really tight, with few clear chances at either end. Seth had a long range shot tipped over and Scott hit the side netting, while Cammy made one good save and David cleared a shot off the line after a scramble.
It was 0-0 at half-time and we had tomanage without Connor in the second half after he took a nasty kick just before the break. Jason and David did superbly without him, though, with some full-blooded tackling and impressive and calm distribution. We were also thankful to Brandon for chasing back to stop a dangerous break.
Youngstars certainly showed much more composure on the ball today, and we also tackled well across the pitch. We took the lead not long after half time when Seth charged down an attempted clearance and hammered the ball first time into the corner of the net.
Spartans came straight back with a lovely goal as their striker turned on he edge of the box and fired into the corner. The game could have gone either way but Spartans nicked it with a superb goal, built all the way from the back. Scott had a superb curling shot brilliantly saved and then was denied again from close range.
In the end, we again lost by a single goal but this was a very good performance all over the pitch, with Lloyd working especially hard in midfield.
