<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">Red Star dominated this match from start to finish and actually came away feeling disappointed at not scoring more.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">Carl Clements opened the scoring after connecting with a Ryan Hirooka corner after only 10 minutes. Red Star settled further and added a second about 15 minutes later after Aly Duncan crossed the ball to Pete Nicholson, who managed to hold off a defender before the ball fell to Grant Jones who smashed his finish in to the far corner. That’s the way the second half ended, but it could have been different as Duncan, Hirooka and Nicholson all had shots saved by the outstanding keeper in open play and alsp a couple of Hirooka's free kicks. The defence of Solling, Kriss, Jones and Cranley looked solid at the back though out the half.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">After the start of the second half, Red Star settled well and soon added a third when a defensive mistake left Hirooka with a long rang shot into an empty net. Unfortunately the next defensive mistake belonged to Red Star and resulted in Wadham goal after a mix up between Kriss and Cox.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"> Red Star soon took control again with the midfield combo of Tsoi, Hirooka, Clements, Seb Davies and later Cranley controlling things well.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">Red Star sealed victory for the second week in a row when a Hirooka corner was flicked on to Jones who slid in at the second post to grab a brace for himself.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 9pt 0cm; background-color: #fbfdfe; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Man of the Match: Both forwards caused problems, the full backs built play wel from the back and the centre of midfield of Clements and Hirooka both scored and got assists but Grant Jones led the defence well and grabbed two goals to top of a solid performance.
