1st HALF

 

A cold bitter wind rips through the Mangotsfield pitch as the game kicks off, Mangotsfield look organised and strong and start to make opportunities into our defence. Ollie makes a great save and Josh and Liam stub out any of their attacks. Fry’s first attack involving Mitchell and Charlie is cleared by the Mangotsfield  defence, Mitchell and Charlie combine to send a through ball to Eli who shoots just wide. Mangotsfield attack and pass through the middle which exposes our midfield and calmly scores to make it 1-0. Fry’s working hard but not getting the final ball into the box, Charlie puts a ball through to Jordan who swiftly passes it to Mitchell. Mangotsfield defend well and clear, Eli and Charlie link up well in midfield but Mangotsfield clear up and clear their lines.  Although possession is equal between the two teams Mangotsfield pass the ball well and make the ball do the work.
