Apollo London FC - Westminster and Kensington FC
Our first home game finished with a clear 3-0 win against a strong opponent side who are expected to be one of the contenders for the champion or winner position in our Division League.
Our players managed the challenges of the game in a mature manner after effectively pressing the opponent at the 2/3 of the pitch while leaving them to have the ball possession in the first halg. to Lots of contentious balls in the middle were won by our midfielders resulting to steals and direct passes to our AM and winger to score at the 7th and 35th minute respectively. Clever management of the game pace from the boys the last 10 mins closing the HT at 2-0.
The second half was a more balanced game with our Team not feeling the same pressure from the opponents as first half. 2no subs in the front line at the 55th and 60th minute respectively offered fresh energy for more high-pressure runs from our midfielders. The third goal was achieved by our latest sub winger with a calm finish after having entered the pitch 2 mins earlier.
Another 2no subs were followed around the 70th minute to give additional freshness in the middle and back line. The last 20mins showed two classic opportunities from the opponent side as their last effort to get back into the game. On the other hand our Team missed 2 good chances between the period 70th and 80th minute while a great sliding finish goal was cancelled as the scorer was noticed exposed for a few centimetres behind the opponent's defending line.
Solid performance from Apollonians today spreading loads of laughs in our family and larger ambitions in the upcoming demanding games.
