U13 Calcio Talent & Select - Opponent

Our first league game of the season matched us up against the UFCA whites, a team who recently beat their own Yellow team behind closed doors. After our usual slow start, UFCA grabbed an early goal, with the boys working tirelessly to get a foothold in the game. After the breakthrough goal from Logan on 25', the rest was history, with another four goals unanswered.

UFCA's play style was direct and down the wings, where their most dangerous players (LB and RW) could get on the ball. This is in contrast to the yellows, who were a technical, undersized team with good playing out ability. After making some changes to our back line and wide space coverage, a much better job was done of handling their threats and building our own attack.

In the final period our playing out from the back was a joy to behold, with John, Jacob and Isaac all demonstrating excellent composure and decision making to find the wide overload and progress the ball.

Special mention for Joel, who has moved to the wing and immediately made an impact creating two goals from his wide play maker role. 

MoM goes to Logan, who has really improved his support running and bagged himself a hat trick to boot.
