| The two teams celebrate a closely-fought encounter |
Knowing that Vigna Pia - runaway leaders of the league - liked to play out of defence and keep the ball to feet, Ambrit decided to press high to try and strangle their play.
It worked and Ambrit managed to dominate possession and territory for long periods. Ambrit should have scored three goals in the first period. But this was the difference between the teams: when Vigna Pia did create chances - on the break - they scored and led 2-0 at the first break. The first goal was cruel - a deflected free kick - but the second came from an unstoppable passing movement that should have served as a warning to Ambrit to stay awake!
With Ambrit asleep at a corner, Vigna Pia scored again immediately after the break but then Ambrit woke up and dominated again. Nonethless it was VP who scored again; this time Ambrit were unlucky - a fantastic tackle from Vittorio saw the ball trickle past the keeper and into the net.
And then Ambrit almost scored... five times in a row. Nikos and Zach were slipping good passes through the lines and Lorenzo was making great runs to get on the end of them, but the ball just wouldn't go in! Two free kicks from Nikos also came close, but no goal and 3-0 at the second interval.
In the third period, Ambrit tired and did collapse a little at the back. Nikos pulled one goal back with a clever header off Vittorio's pass but Ambrit now need to look to next week's match for three points!
