(Many thanks to Coach, Andy, for the match report)
Saturday 24 January
MKDDL U13 Division 2
Linslade Galaxy U13 Porto 5 – 2 Winslow United Juniors U13 Pumas
Porto flew out of the blocks, taking the lead inside five minutes. Although Winslow equalised on 10 minutes Porto responded instantly, which settled the team and made sure they regained control of the match.
Their pace on the break was a constant danger, and a flurry of attacks saw them head into half-time with a strong 5 - 1 lead, including one goal from a corner. Corners continue to be our soft spot at the other end. Goals from Teddy, Tom (2), Ryan (2).
Winslow returned after the break with more energy and pushed hard grabbing a goal midway through the half, but Porto battled well and continued creating chances. With more composure in front of goal, and a closer eye on the offside line the score could have been more emphatic.
Players of the match were; Ryan who terrorised down the wing, scoring a quickfire double, and Logan for hard work in midfield and defence, breaking up play.
It was a deserved three points and the perfect response to last week's disappointment.
