First, the Englishmen stopped a close-range snap-shot from Gavin Marange, before palming a point-blank Gonzalo Garcia header to safety.

However, his best stop came five minutes from the break, when Lucas Holmes released Taiven Hudson, who opened up his body and sent a right-foot shot towards the far corner, only for Pumas keeper to divert it wide with a strong hand.

Pumas pressed for first goal of the game but Leo Whitehead was unrelenting in throwing himself between goal and ball, and strickers shot was also blocked on the line by Olly Neild.

Tattenhoe Youth Pumas finally broke the dead lock, when pumas forward was in the middle of the park for him to lash home via a heavy deflection off Lucas Holmes.

Gonzalo Garcia should had scored six minutes later as he directed a corner towards goal in the six-yard box, but his header whistled over the top of the crossbar. Not long after Taiven Hudson lofted a fine cross into the box from the Right flank, but Gavin Marange could not connect with his head as the ball was cleared behind by pumas defence.

Alfie Monaghan was involved, meeting a Taiven Hudson cross at the far post for a free header, but the Englishmen effort was brilliantly kept out to keep the pumas ahead.

making the most of non-existent Pumas defending, Taiven Hudson whipped in the corner, Gonzalo Garcia lost his marker and guided the ball inside the back post, Reds were back in the game

Taiven Hudson almost grabbed a dream goal to add to his assist, but was denied by the left leg of keeper when played through on goal as the Reds looked for equalizer.

Abraham hit the bar with a fine header from Willian's corner, and then headed over from a similar situation moments later as Newcastle retreated further.
