Brandon Cup Game #3

10:00am
JC Handly Sports Complex - Brandon 1st Half 2nd Half Final
Florida Hawks FC U16-1 1 1      1 3
Rural YSA Wimauma Lady Warriors 0 1 1   2

 

Jayden and her Florida Hawks teammates returned to the fields in Brandon this morning to take on the Wimauma Lady Warriors in the third game of the Brandon Cup for each team. Today it was the Hawks who got off to a blazing hot start, as they scored on their first shot of the game thanks to a player streaking down the left side of the field and nailed a long kick that sailed into the right side of the net. They didn't wait long to add on to their 1-0 lead, as they would score on their next shot as well, as the ball bounced around in front of the net a bit before the Hawks were able to get a kick on net. The Warriors keeper got a piece of the shot, but not enough to stop the ball from finding the back of the net and a 2-0 Hawks lead. Despite the early scores, that would end up being the only two goals of the first half, as the two teams would head into the break with the same 2-0 score.

It was the Warriors that stormed back in the second half, as they too would score on their first shot on goal. Their goal was a weird one, as it seemed as though the players on the field all stopped, perhaps thinking a whistle blew. Unfortunately one had not, so the goal was allowed and the Hawks lead was down to 2-1. The Warriors would only get one more shot on net, and they would convert on this one as well, on a slow kick that went off of the keepers hands and into the net, make it a new game with a 2-2 score. Between the two teams, there was only two more shots on goal over the remainder of the game, and both of them came off the foot of the Hawks attackers. Thankfully for the Hawks their second shot ended up finding a way into the back of the net, though not in the way that one would normally expect. The shot on goal wasn't a bad one, but it likely would have been stopped by the Warriors keeper had the ball made it through to her. Unfortunately for the Warriors, one of their defensive players got a foot on the ball and essentially kicked into her net for an own-goal. Certainly not the outcome they wanted, but it was one the Hawks were happy with. That would be the final goal of the game, giving the Hawks a 3-2 win, their first victory of the Brandon Cup!
