A fantastic win at the Aberdeen fortress for Sat boys
against a fired up Revolution side. Fortunate for us we were even more
fired up after watching the 300's film of beefed up Spartans taking on
the Persians the night before.
1st half was a close affair, we probably created the better chances and
had more of the running. It was a tough game with everyone getting
stuck in, evidence myself getting a cut lip from a miss guided elbow to
the face. Our first goal came from their keeper misjudging a high
flying free-kick from Stefano which was superbly headed into net by
Medhi. Revolution looked real dangerous with their long throws and the
small Aberdeen pitch which caused us all sorts of problems. One header
by Jessop lead to the save of the season from Richie in goals. 1 nil up
at half-time.
The second half saw much of the same battle go on, the bouncy pitch
probably didn't do justice to both sides skill levels. However with our
own Stevie G who played a MOM with Halsey in center midfield roll we
seem to hold things together. Let's hope Steve will stay with us for
the rest of the season he is no doubt a superb player.
Given that all the guys that came into the second half played
brilliantly and this was a huge difference from the previous games.
Both Pablo and Jlo played fantastic in the defensive to keep another
clean sheet. Allard controlled the left side of the pitch when he came
on and set the winner up for Flabbo who slot it in calmly. Medhi
overhead kick started the move and it was excellent interplay that lead
to the goal.
Of the others to shine out Jeff and Lionel played well wide and built a
lot of attacks. Oggy was superb as rolling sweeper in the defence and
marshaled the team well. Dev was stand-by manager and did some
excellent changes in the second half.
All in all great game to play against a strong revolution side who had won 5-nil the previous week. Well deserved win.
Henry.
