U13 Turquoise 24/25 - LDGA
today we travelled to Watford to play against LDGA. They had a great set up there and were a very friendly team.
We kicked off and started strongly. Attacking down the wings and putting some great balls into the box but their goal keeper was on to everything! She was making save after save and for the first 15 mins I don’t think we came out of their half! finally we got a throw and Lexi took it quickly to put Alexia through in goal and she slotted it home for 0-1 ⚽️
For some reason after that we sat back and allowed them to come at us and were lucky not to concede when they hit the bar with a great effort from far out!!
At half time I told the girls we had to start playing again not not to sit so deep! It was a scrappy start to the second half and both teams kept trying to get the break through. From a long goal kick we were static and the ball bounced straight down the middle onto their striker who found the top corner with a great finish! But poor team defending from us! ⚽️ 1-1
That seemed to wake us up abit as we started passing and moving more. Alexia pressed from a goal kick and got brought down in the box. Penalty! She stepped up to take it and sent the keeper the wrong way only to hit the post!
Morning after that Lexi received the ball on the left wing and beat her player with a lovely bit of footwork down the line and carried it into the box and slotted it low and hard to beat the keeper!
⚽️1-2. The game was very frantic now and from a corner Ava made a great goal line clearence for us! And Mia also made a very good save from a free kick. With only five minutes to go alexia got in the end of a loose ball and went around the last defender to slot home and secure us the win⚽️ 1-3
We go again next week 👊🏻
together we are stronger 💪🏻
