In a dominant display of soccer, Barnstoneworth recorded a resounding 12-0 victory over Gwandalan in a one-sided affair.
The match started off with the home team showing their attacking intent from the outset. They pressed high up the field, constantly putting their opponents under pressure and restricting them to their own half. The first goal came within the first ten minutes, as Marcelo, with his third attempt at goal, finished off a slick passing move to put his team ahead.
The home team continued to dominate possession and create chances, with their midfielders controlling the tempo of the game and Thang winning every header, like a leaping salmon. The second goal came soon after, with a well-placed shot from outside the box finding the bottom corner of the net. The away team tried to fight back, but their efforts were thwarted by the home team’s solid defence.
As the game progressed, the home team’s dominance only grew stronger. The third goal came from a clinical counter-attack, as James sprinted down the flank and crossed the ball for Frank to tap in from close range. The away team struggled to cope with the relentless attacking pressure, and the fourth and fifth goals came in quick succession, with the home team’s midfielders orchestrating the attacks and providing pinpoint passes.
The second half saw Barnstoneworth continue their dominance, as they added more goals to their tally. Gwandalan were simply outclassed, as BUFCs attackers ran riot and the defence held firm. The sixth goal came from a well-placed header from a corner kick, while the seventh was a long-range screamer that left the away team’s goalkeeper with no chance.
Our supporters were in raptures on the sidelines as their team continued to pile on the goals. The eighth and ninth goals came from quick counter-attacks, with the away team’s defence unable to keep up with the pace of the home team’s attackers. The tenth goal came from a beautifully placed free-kick, while the eleventh was a tap-in from close range after a goalmouth scramble.
The home team saved the best for last, as the twelfth goal came from a thunderous volley that flew into the top corner of the net. The away team was left shell-shocked, as they had no answer to the home team’s attacking prowess.
In the end, it was a comprehensive victory for the home team, as they recorded a 12-0 win over their opponents. The attackers were in scintillating form, while the defence held strong to keep a clean sheet, with Lance catching hypothermia.
5 goals to Frank with Nathan, Hillsy, Nick, Tom, Marcelo and Chris from 35c within 20 secs of coming on as a sub, also contributing to the rout. We were without Benny, Fauldsy (Soy!) and Arnie so when those boys are back, we’re going to be a force to be reckoned with!!!
