1-0 win v. Hollister



finally, a league victory, and against a tough opponent. We set up for a shutout as 1 point was all that was required to take us up to 4th in the table. Last time against Hollister we could tell within 5 minutes of the start that the girls were not going to perform well. This time it was the opposite - we could tell from the start that Sporting were going to play much better. In fact, this was not a sneaky 1-0 vistory, Sporting dominated this game and won the territorial advantage about 60:40 in both halves. We had multiple breaks through the center of the Hollister defence whereas our opposition were restricted to punts into our penalty box which were cleared by our defence.

The plan for 0-0 was going well until Andrea made another break through the Hollister center backs and hit a speculative shot from the edge of the box which eluded the keeper and rolled into the corner to give Sporting a 1-0 lead. I had to leave at this point to check in TopGun for their final game so coach Mark took over. Apparently the ball hit our post and we had another couple of chances to score and Sporting held out for a deserved victory and 4th place.
