Opening
Coming off a sound week of training, with all players committed to attending sessions, the Lady Gunners were well prepared to face a strong side in MA RUSH. The Gunners began the game with a commanding control of midfield, creating glorious scoring chances early on.
MA RUSH did a great job sustaining the attacking pressure. The Ladies Gunners stuck to their guns, moving the ball well, using width to exploit their opponent from the center of the park. Eventually, the offensive pressure paid off for the Gunners, who took a 1-0 lead into the half.
2nd Half- Final Result
At halftime, the Gunners discussed being clinical finishing inside the opponent's box. Though numerous chances were created, few were actually converted, because shots were struck directly to the keeper's hands. The adjustment needed was to slot the ball low to the corners, away from the goalie.
The second half actually composed of resilience from MA RUSH, who actually had long spells of midfield control. Once the Gunners adjusted their shape in the middle of the park, they regained dominance. In the end, the Lady Gunners closed out the game with a 2-0 win, against a strong team!
Though it was complete team effort, there were a couple of players who really had a great outing this afternoon. First was Gabby, who executed the adjustment of slotting the ball into the corners, for a beautiful game winner. The other was Bailey, who had a stellar performance defensively, shutting down players on the left side of defense.
Congrats to you both on a well-deserved Players of the Match Award!!
