<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">First Half

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">The game got off to a great start with the defence (Davis, Andrew, Sam, Conrad) holding firm and clearing out any danger that came their way.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">The half took a turn for the best when Yomi lofted a free kick towards the box that ended up in the goal, how it found its way in the net nobody knows but Flamengo found them selves 0-1 up and ask no questions.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Later in the half Yomi slipped Ashley through who raced on towards goal&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;..BAM, what a goal! The ball was drilled past the keepers near post, the shot was struck with venom 0-2.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Second Half

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Flamengo made multiple changes to the second half and held their own defending against a fiery Leabridge Rangers who came out all guns blazing.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">After a stalemate situation Leabridge pulled a goal back after their attacker scored a glancing header in the 80th minute from close range 1-2

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Leabridge Rangers continued to attack while Flamengo were now defending for their lives and an opportunity presented itself when the home team&rsquo;s winger received the ball in an offside position who squared it across to the on coming forward for a close range tap in 2-2. Result.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">All in all this was a decent afternoon&rsquo;s work and a useful excise as the newly looking squad still realises it full potential. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
