MATCH REPORT

FC WESTERN (1) V FDMC CENTRAL FINANCE (2)

FDMC Central Finance wrapped up a demanding pre season schedule with a well earned victory over FC Western and two stunning strikes from forwards Morgan HALL and Tomas MOSQUERA - although they made hard work of a game that they never looked like losing.

Starting confidently and enjoying large amounts of posession, FDMC Central Finance failed to capitalise on their early advantage with some sloppy passing and casual attacking play. Frustration started to creep in as a number of good opportunities were wasted and there was a real sense of relief when the deadlock was broken with a sublime 25 yard rasping drive from Morgan HALL mid way through the half. FDMC Central Finance continued to apply considerable pressure on their opponents; dominating territory and possession but lacking composure at vital times.

The second half started with a much better tempo and an overall desire to improve on the first half performance. Better passing and an increase in energy saw the pattern of the game continue in our favour but FC Western took full advantage of a rare forrage into their opponents penalty area to score a fluke equalising goal from a cross that took a wicked deflection of a retreating defender.

This misfortune instantly spurred on the team to raise the level of their performance and in the last 20 minutes of the game FDMC Central Finance played some of their best football narrowly missing a number of opportunities to extend the lead. That was until Tomas MOSQUERA latched on to the ball just outside the penalty area with 5 minutes to go and lashed the ball hard and low into the far corner of the goal - a tremendous strike and a well deserved goal that resulted in a hard earned victory.
