Saturday U-15 League
Florian 2               Tarxien 2

 

 

This was a lesson in how to lose a 2-0 advantage.   Of course these changes in a score happen all over, at all levels, and throughout all times - but it is galling  to have a two lead  margin whittled to a 2-2 with the same team, the same tactics and the same opponents.   

Floriana went out on the attack, and after 1 / 2 chances were wasted  a header by Isaac from a corner made it 1-0.   Tarxien attacked but our defence held and Floriana could have made it 2 or 3-0 had it not been for point blank saves by the Tarxien goalkeeper.

In the second half Floriana once again started well and soon made it 2-0 when a through pass by Lukain saw Leo beat the Tarxien goalkeeper.   Tarxien then attacked and a run through from the middle saw their nippy attacker shooting past Gareth.   In the last few minutes a foul by our player unnecessarily made deep in the Tarxien half saw a free kick eventually turn into a corner and a goal for Tarxien making it 2-0.

A wasted win;  wasted two points.
