another win in class 1B, still no goal against TopGun, and the girls didn't even play very well today. Actually... Lulu, Alexia and Carrie played very well, Addie came back to almost full form. The other girls were kinda sluggish.
Our hopes for a 500 season are getting closer to being realised.
TopGun bossed most of the game but Tsunami were in it and were dangerous with big kicks aimed at Jes. Tsunami have some good skills, but threatened our goal the most with a more direct approach, assisted by planting their forwards right on top of our sweeper. Fortunately, any breaks were cleared up by Yovanna, Amani, and Carrie.
We missed our usual 5 clear chances before finally putting one in the net. Well played to all the mids and forwards who positioned themselves perfectly as Ysa attacked down the left - the final result being a tap-in at the back post for Alexia who was exactly where she was supposed to be. The midfield battle was kind of even, mostly because TG were not picking their marks very well. We fixed this in the second half by shuffling the deck a little. Yoshi went right mid and played much better, Tess and Lulu controlled the center.
In the second half, Tsunami forced a succession of corner kicks, all ably snuffed out by Carrie who simply caught the high balls being hit into the box. The final 15 minutes saw TG dominance and a whole bunch of wasted chances to score until a solid cross from the right was deflected off a Tsunami defender for an own goal. Alexia then put a great chance just wide. 3-0 would have been a fair scoreline, but we'll take 2-0 against a team who tied us 1-1 in the D2 cup last Fall.
3-0-0, next up MXG, and we have quite a few players missing
