South Manchester 0 – 2 Manchester Rovers
1. Sanjay
2. Mike Roberts
3. Stu Mason
4. Anto
5. Whitey
6. Mo
7. Ian
8. Damo (c)
9. Manu
10. Pricey
11. Yousef
SUBS:
Jonesy (Came on for Stu)
Nathan (Came on for Pricey)
Erik (Came on for Ian)
Bills (Came on for Manu)
With Rovers now entering the business end of the season, the pressure was on to pull out a winning performance. Rovers started well, creating a handful of chances in the first 30 minutes. Despite numerous chances Rovers just couldn’t seem to finish what we created until young Pricey dropped deep to picked up the ball on the right wing. After a darting diagonal run across the box taking out a number of defenders he was push a little too wide to rocket off a shot of his own, with Yousef offering a great supporting run that Pricey spotted and laid Yousef off to burst into the box and coolly slot the ball past the South Manchester Keeper. All be it with the help of a deflection of the defender.
Dubious Goal Panel ruling: YOUSEF’S GOAL!
Rovers now 1 nil up, continued to control the game. Working the ‘pressure release’ passing well and the ‘Triangle’ Tactics from training even better, Rovers continued to open up the South Manchester defence but it wasn’t until midway through the second half, after some great chasing down from the Main Man himself Manu that rovers extended their lead. After a Mix up in defence Manu found himself 1 on 1 with the Keeper. Every Rovers player on the field held their breath as Manu when bearing down on goal. Uncharacteristically Manu calmly rounded the Keeper and slotted the ball under the keeper and into the net. 2 nil rovers.
Rovers continued to dominate the matching controlling every phases of play and ran out worthy winners in the end. Great result and relieves some (NOT ALL) of the pressure for use to pick up some points to reach safety this season.
