Aztec Braves 0 - 2 Dragons

The Dragons bounced back to winning form with a well-earned 2-0 victory over the Aztec Braves, who had recently dropped down from a higher league.

The match started with Dragons in control, moving the ball around well. Their efforts were rewarded early when Ray scored directly from a corner to give Dragons a 1-0 lead. Just before halftime, Ray delivered another fantastic corner, which Noah was quick to pounce on and poke home, giving Dragons a 2-0 advantage.

In the second half, the Braves came out with more intensity, creating some pressure on the Dragons. With the wind at their backs, the opposition tried to push for a goal, but solid defensive work from Rory, Oscar H, and Ashton kept them at bay. In goal, Benni made several crucial saves, especially with the wind making things difficult, to ensure the Dragons maintained their clean sheet.

Player of the Match: Benni, for his excellent saves and composure in difficult conditions during the second half.
