Away cup match
For 80 minutes Anglia FC were solid and in control, soaking up the long balls CUP threw at them, riding their luck with a fine penalty save from Tiho and going 2-0 up before half time, two fine through balls exploiting the oppositions lack of pace at the back, that were finished in style by Kenny and Chris A respectively.
The second half was one way traffic, Anglia's high press forcing many errors and only some goalkeeping heroics and profligate finishing preventing a real thrashing for CUP. A third goal was scored, an exceptional free kick from Matt helped on it's way by Chris A.
Unfortunately the high press caused Anglia to tire and CUP pushed high and scored two consolation goals at the death, the first a well worked move by their tidy strikers, the second an absolute calamity goal it's best not to talk about.
Anglia FC were relieved to cling on to the lead, but ran out deserved winners in the end.
Really strong performances throughout, Tiho sweeping well and saving a penalty, Ollie an absolute beast in holding midfield and Sean putting in one of his best ever displays at right back, destroying and creating in equal measure. Matt was excellent at CB and had a hand in all three goals, but man of the match was Dan Vargas, who had his finest game in an Anglia shirt, breaking up play, creating a lot with his excellent vision and showing some really great skill in the middle to keep possession.
All players not mentioned also put in a shift in what was a fine team performance.
A win in two weeks against Zoology means we top our group. Come on Anglia!
