Big Match
Special
Our weekly spotlight on one of the league’s big games
Under-11 B
Finsbury Park 1
Bridge Rovers 1
AN end-to-end battle between these two sides proved a thrilling
contest for the latest in our Big Match Specials.
Finsbury Park dominated their last meeting with Rovers earlier
in the season. And it was Finsbury who were first to score in
the opening minutes.
Klay Brewster blasted home after a fine run and pass from Alex
Gonzalez.
Rovers responded but skipper Sonner Ozdemir and keeper Sean
Giff stood firm in defence.
Giff saved bravely at the feet of Jachin Archer and Brewster
came close to extending the lead moments later after collecting
a fine cross from Anthony Ayala. Yet the action quickly returned
to the other end as the lively Jahmal Greene was twice denied
– by the post and the excellent Giff.
Rovers midfielder Altiman James stepped up his game after the
restart and set up Daniel Alarcón Allan to level.
Brewster came close to settling it in the dying minutes but
substitute keeper Kevin Torres stood firm in Rovers’ goalmouth
to ensure both sides went home with a point and a Big Match
Special trophy.
Man of the Match
Sonner Ozdemir
Finsbury Park’s skipper repelled Bridge’s every attack
in the opening half and kept a cool head throughout, intelligently
spraying passes out of defence to set up attack after attack.
