Today the Fielding Boys team had Oscar (5P) from the development team play his debut in the performance team.

Unfortunately, our usual defender Sev (5S) went home sick so last-minute changes had to be made to the starting line and formations needed to be adapted. We started with 3-1-2.

 

Immediately, after the whistle was blown the boys were straight on the attack and within minutes Tem (5F) managed to weave past Mount Carmel's defence and score an early goal. This built confidence within the team and gave them the drive to continue to press forwards.  Then Gioele (6F) crossed a ball into Ahmed (5F) who struck the ball and deflected it off Mount Carmel defenders. Ahmed (5F) then assisted Ishaaq (6F) scoring a beautiful goal from the halfway line. At half-time, the score was 3-0.

 

The defence was tight and the boys at the back Oscar (5P), Gioele (6F), and Ishaaq (6F) all communicated well and made some great interceptions to ensure it was a goalless first half.

 

Going into the second half we wanted to secure the win, so we experimented with different combinations of attacking players. Aiden (6F) was put in midfield and Theo (6S) and Noah (6F) were upfront this combination proved to work as Noah (6F) was able to score a goal.  Then suddenly from the goal half Gioele (6F) attempted to strike a long ball which resulted in a stunning goal. It was something out of a premier league game.  Reuben (6S), Ahmed (6F) and Theo (6S) all assisted in adding pressure to the attack which intimated our opponents.

 

It was great to see the boys play well as a cohesive unit and communicate well in attack. Well done to Jordi (6S) who maintained a clean sheet.
