The Leeds District Cup provided the 6th competitive game for our new team. The Championship squad made the away trip to Wortley that included Twelve U19 players.
We made a good start to the game.
Wortley set out to be very physical but we adapted to this & coped well. Huge credit to the lads for the way they handle this approach.
We continued to cause our opponents problems in the early stages of the game & went ahead through a nice set piece routine.
Shortly after going ahead; We conceded through a set piece scenario. A soft one from our perspective (as we did some work on this during the warm up)
A great response to conceding led to us dominating the first half, creating loads of opportunities but somehow not managing to convert at least one chance to put us ahead. Mamadou probably having the best chance but he put the ball too close to the GK from about 7 yards out.
1-1 at HT. Praise for the performance.
Review of the goal conceded. acknowledged we should be ahead or out of sight based on the amount of good chances created.
Second half
There was a bit of momentum shift where it was Wortleyโs turn to put pressure on us getting onto more loose balls, direct freekicks, long throws & multiple corners.
To be fair to the group we defended well & showed we can cope/deal with set plays. We were also a threat going forward throughout the half & had a few good chances. There was a golden chance to make it 2-1. Lamek put Mamadou through in the box. he was 1 on 1 with the GK but he hit the GK with his shot.
As we prepared for pens - Wortley scored in the last minute & it was a well taken goal tbf.
A last minute goal is always a tough one to take. Especially in this scenario as itโs a game where we feel we should have scored more than our opponents.
Overall another good performance from the group with some pleasing individual performances. Plenty of positives to build on with this group.
Final score 2-1
