Caught the later re-run of the game.
Another scrappy game against a bunch of latino players, who are not a bad side.
So much diving and a lotta fouls, kept the game from flowing.
I’m not so sure about the penalty, as the goalie got a piece of the ball, but hey! i’le take it.
When i saw Shola step up i knew it was gonna go in, actually he had one of his better games.
Haidara looked ok and Simpson had a steady game, but in general we did’nt know how to break them down, as they packed the middle.
Following the penalty, we went into a defensive shell and were fortunate to come away with the win.
As Metalica had a number of opportunities where they should have scored.
Is this some kind of default position we automatically go into, when we take a lead.
Talking bout going into a defensive shell and just resort to hoofing it in the general direction of their goalie ?
This is not the first time this has happened, seems every second half, we resort to hoofball whether leading or not, whats this about ?
