vs SUB STANDARD LIEGE
Neutral league match
On a warm Monday evening the team sheet was announced that Veteran Goalkeeper Dave would be standing in for Kyle. With Paul and Glenn at the back and the dynamic front three of Luke, JP and Jordan were able to do their thang.
First half started with chances for both teams but a very defensive set up from Sub standard meant getting through the low block was more challenging than anticipated.
5 mins in and deadlock was broken, a pass from Jordan and a solo run and quality finish from Luke meant Cafe were 1 nil up and in the ascendency.
Shortly after the first goal some great team build up play and Luke assisted by Jordan again fires a shot goalward and he makes it 2-0.
Sub standard have to start to attack more in order to drag themselves back into the game, a few chances go begging with a great challenge from Glenn and equally great defensive play from Paul to prevent Sub Standard get a goal before half time.
HALF TIME - CAFE 3 - 0 SUB STANDARD
Second half starts and Cafe are in disarray, sitting in too deep as the summer heat zaps the energy from the normally energetic front three. Sub standard capitalise on the frailties at the back and score a great goal which Dave managed to get finger tips to but unable to keep it out. Game on.
A few moments later, Luke tries to run the ball up the pitch and looses out to their talisman, a quick one two around Paul and a great finish means the game it truly on. 3 - 2 to cafe with 5 minutes to play.
Sub standard push higher and pin Cafe in who are desperately trying to defend a crucial lead. A save from Dave has the ball rolling towards the goal line and somehow he extends his bionic limbs to scoop the ball off the line and out for a corner.
The resulting corner is fizzed in and falls to the feet of their goalscorer, an empty net awaits the ball, but NO! a miss and a huge let off for Cafe.
The last couple minutes are spent passing the ball around the back and holding onto a huge three points against a bogey team for Cafe.
