ANSPI u11: Vigna Pia Rosso 2-2 Ambrit

Ambrit came from behind twice tonight to earn a well-deserved point against a Vigna Pia side that had come into this game on full points.
The first period was scoreless; with Cameron raiding successfully down the right hand side, Ambrit should really have scored a couple of goals but they lacked any killer instinct when presented with a chance. Adam got into some good positions but didn't finish. At the other end, Dylan was very solid between the sticks.
Immediately on the re-start, Vigna Pia caught us cold and were 1-0 up after 10 seconds. But Ambrit recovered and should have equalised through Bertie early on but, later, did equalise when Vittorio's determined play forced an error in defence. Particularly impressive in this period was Cosimo, who showed the kind of determination in the tackle that inspired his team mates later on.
Ambrit continued to press forward in the third period and Alberto and Adam both stepped up their games to give us an extra dimension going forward. But Ambrit were caught on the break with only five minutes left. This was the only chance that a fantastic Leo and Pedro in defence had allowed the home side but Vigna Pia tucked the ball past Carlo to make it 2-1.
Ambrit threw everything into attack and, from one of many corners, Vittorio drove a piledriver through the heart of the Vigna Pia defence and off the goalkeeper for the equaliser!
AMBRIT: Adam, Pedro, Leo, Carlo, Cosimo, Cameron, Dylan, Alberto, Vittorio (C), Bertie
