Olympia leave it late to take all the 3 points home !
We a good gamed today especially with a few changes in the team, I thought our spirit and determination won us that game, the desire to take all 3 points home. Credit to you lot
I thought that first half was the best half were we retained a lot of possession and did a lot of stuff with that possession creating numerous chances one after the other, specially our use of the ball and the movements and understanding of space was there in the 1st half and we used to our strengths which village found really hard to deal.
We had village were we wanted them, to run for the ball and loose there shape and with our patience movement and combinations and width on both flanks with qalawi and latif who I thought both did really well village knew they had match on there hand.
Our shape at the back was good with they really was not a threat to us in that 1st half we contained them by working hard of the ball and pressing to get ball back and retain which we was spot on with, so im really proud of that hard work of the ball.
We broke the deadlock in 8min of the game after having a patient build up and taking apart village it was really a world class goal and great vision by mukky to pick latif smart run across the back 4 and only having the keep to beat which he did very composed to chip it over him, quality goal.
We went 2 ahead just before half time from a mukky corner only for village failing to clear there lines meant hagi got his account open this season.
On a serious note none can argue we should havd put that game to bed in that first half with all those chances we created qalawi mukky got close a few times hitting the crossbar but our finising was poor.
Second half was complete different performance than the 1st half with consistently losing possession to easy and in dangerous areas, also on the other hand we lost our shape and our midfielders again were out of shape and not compact enough which made it a bit easier for village
Again look at the both goals we conceded today, for the 1st goal we loose the ball in a dangerous place and we had could not get our shape as we was chasing towards our own goal which is always asking for it.
And that corner is just lack of responsibility and concentration.
At 2-2 our desire and hard work and to create chances to win the game was a positive thing to see we kept at it and created many chances to win the game hitting the bar headers just narrowly going wide.
It took 84min for us to get that 3rd goal from the right hand side latif to only square the ball to mo jama to win us the game.
Well done to qalawi the man of the match I thought he and latif really showed our wing play today and we used them really good. Overall good month turning around the bad start we made to the season credit to you lot.
Village only had 3 shot on target and 2 off target
We had 6 shots on target and 12shots of target
Ball possession: village 30% – Olympia 70%
