A good game with both teams trying to play football, even if it was not a good result for us. Sporto started brightly and set out there stall by trying to play football from the back. This surprised us somewhat as teams trying to play football is not sometime that we have come up against much this season.
We soon adapted and started to play some good stuff ourselves and we were soon on top and dictating the game. It was of no surprise when we took the lead with some good interchanges around the box for Tim to smash home. We all too quickly got ourselves in trouble and from a quick counter they drew level within minutes. We again had a number of chances but a combination of bad luck in the box and very good defending kept us at bay.
The defining moment of the game was when Tim got injured and had to go off, as he was looking lively and looked our best option of getting more goals. 1 - 1 at halftime with us on top was an ok position and I expected us to go on and win the game. Although we tried hard, played some good football, we lacked that cutting edge and bit of luck that was needed to score again.
