u11 ANSPI: Ambrit 3-2 San Leonardo

A tense and hard-fought match saw Ambrit coming out on top and means that they leap-frog their opponents into 5th place in the table.
Tiago pounced on a defensive mistake and blasted the ball high into the roof of the net for the only goal of the first period, fifteen minutes in which Ambrit were dominant and should probably have scored more than one goal.
Ambrit continued to play well in the second period, though the visitors were now showing signs of life. Alberto was particularly important in this part of the game, passing well and tackling back. It was Alberto who set Tiago up near the end of the period but Tiago's shot came back off the crossbar.
Still 1-0 going into the last 15 minutes but, 5' into the period, Vittorio rifled a brilliant shot into the bottom corner to give the team some breathing space and, when Alberto nipped in to make it 3-0, it looked like the three points were in the bag.
But then the comeback started: 3-1... then 3-2... and the team were looking rattled. Coach Corcoran called a time-out to settle the team and it was then that Pedro showed his maturity, his courage and his team spirit: "Mr Corcoran, I'll go in goal for the last few minutes".
And he did. And the team settled down. And the team won the game. Bravo Pedro!
