1st X1 Match Report

Kaponga (1) vs FDMC CENTRAL FINANCE (6)

MOSQUERA BAGS A BRACE

Tomas MOSQUERA continued his fine form and added to his "hatrick" last week by grabbing five goals and scooping the "Man of the Match" award for the second week running.

FDMC Central Finance started very slowly but enjoyed the lions share of pessession and territory in the opening 20 minutes. Struggling to show any real urgency in the final third, FDMC's midfield dominance too often disolved into nothing as the team found themselves guilty of wasting a number of good opportunities to threaten the opposition goal. It was Kaponga who capitalised on a rare forage into the FDMC half taking full advantage of a through ball and taking the lead with a neat finish even though it was totally against the run of play.

Adversity was the catalyst to spark this young team once again and it was Domenico SQUATRITI who equalised with a well taken goal within minutes of the restart. Good work in midfield from Shane GARNER, Stephen KIBBY and Domenico SQUATRITI continued to pile pressure on a Kaponga side that was struggling to contain the number and variety of attacking options. It was the constant threat of MOSQUERA that made the break through, as he latched on to a good pass and rounded the goalkeeper to slot home his first goal and take the team in 2-1 up at half time.

FDMC CENTRAL FINANCE considerably increased the tempo after half time and were able to establish dominance immediately. Quality passing in midfield and some excellent work on the right from Aaron HUESSER had Kaponga really struggling and MOSQUERA was able to increase the lead with a stunning strike from just outside the box. He then grabbed his third, fourth and fifth goal in a 15 minute spell that sealed the game and capped an outstanding individual performance.

FDMC CENTRAL FINANCE made three substitutions and continued to play with style and ambition - Morgan HALL going close on two occassions and Jaden HAREB unlucky not to score with a magnificent 25 yard strike. All round a convincing win against a very poor Kaponga team, another three points and a stunning individual effort from Tomas MOSQUERA.
