U12 PORTO SUFFER DEFEAT ON THE ROAD

TFA Lions U12 9 – 2 Linslade Galaxy U12 Porto

After taking the lead in the match, Porto suffered defeat on the road.

With only nine players available there was still belief they could get something out of the game, following their win last week. Things looked bright when Jack tucked in the first goal to give Porto the lead. But the home side came back and took a strong foothold in the game. Jack's neatly struck penalty gave Porto a chance as the first half ended.

Porto did well in pockets of the game and continued to battle to the end. They showed promise, but they will regret how easily they conceded, giving their opponents too much space and respect. Quickfire goals in both halves took the wind out of their sails. They didn't react quickly enough and needed to be tighter across the pitch, as they often got easily sucked in. Porto will glad to see the back of them having played them three times in four weeks.

Player of the match was Jack, who scored two great goals and worked hard in midfield.
It's down to us to react and recover with three homes games left this season to enjoy.
