⚽ FA Vase 2nd Round⚽
AFC Wulfrunians 5 Coventry United 4
Played at The Prestige Midlands Arena
The game was delayed for 30 minutes due to a terrific thunderstorm.
The visitors were fastest out of the blocks and were ahead on 3 minutes (I missed the goal as I was talking to a couple of visiting fans)⚽. Their lead only lasted 3 minutes due to Wulfs player Webb showing some nifty footwork to beat the defender and keeper⚽. Clever play by Hall around the twenty minute mark, tempted the defender into a tackle earning a penalty for the hosts, duly despatched by No 9⚽. Wulfrunians were upping the tempo and another goal was added 5 minutes later when Wulfs number 9 latched onto a terrific through ball to round the keeper and score his second and Wulfs third⚽. United were, at this time, struggling to contain their opponents who added a fourth at 27 minutes and were seemingly destined for a big score⚽ ; this was a false dawn as United rallied and 6 minutes later reduced the arrears with an excellent goal⚽ and were in the ascendency for the remainder of the half, being very unlucky with two more efforts. A scintillating 45 minutes of football.
Following the break, United carried on where they left off and had soon reduced the arrears further, cutting in from the left with only the keeper to beat....and he did⚽. United were now the team looking most likely to score and were desperately unlucky, only being denied by some last-ditch defending. This brilliant game was settled 5 minutes from normal time when a smart move on the right resulted in a straight ball across the area needing only to be tapped in⚽.
A fantastic game played in an excellent spirit from both sides. For long periods, it was anyones game but Wulfrunians progress to the next round while United played their part in an absorbing contest.
