Away cup match
Great to see football back in action with a full and fit squad all eager to earn their starting place. The message from the Gaffa was to get back to playing our own style and enjoy it.
A slow and nervous start as expected saw neither team really settling in possession. Some long shot efforts not really testing the keeper and some close range efforts that should have been testing the keeper, didn’t.
Constant high pressing was eventually rewarded with the ball in the net. Davies met the ball with his knee to see it deflected off the line straight to JonJo’s head who lofted it over the crowded defenders to make it 1-0.
Shortly after, Paige produced some good bursts forward to test their full back and smartly won the Arrows a penalty. F. Discala calmly wrong footed the keeper to make it 2-0.
HT 2-0
A more settled 2nd half saw the Arrows dominant in possession for the early periods with Jamison being a key player holding up the ball with clever footwork and bringing players into the game.
A free-kick from F.Discala was met by the Lions wall. With them lost where the ball landed, they were quickly closed down and ball stolen for the oncoming sprint of Jack Booth who put a rocket pass the keeper on his near post.
The Jack / JonJo combo hit again with a beautifully played ball to JonJo, who put the ball in the net despite the keeper getting something on it. Unfortunately, JonJo’s celebrations were short lived when the referee presented his 2nd yellow of the afternoon to deny any hat-trick opportunities.
Not the best performance but a solid win for the first game back after the break.
