This was a strange game indeed. Ambrit came out for the first period and dominated play. Trym, Emma and Vittorio repelled all attacks and Ambrit attacked time and again down the left, with Ben, Diego and Francesco combining to make lots of chances. But it wasn't until 2' from the break that they finally got a reward when Ben struck a left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
Things changed in the second period. The home side woke up and took over, winning all the loose ball. Ambrit were caught out of position time and again and Gabriele made some timely interventions. Then in in a traumatic 5' period, Ambrit went from 1-0 up to 1-2 down and Sam89 struck the crossbar too! But Ambrit had their chances too; Diego found some great positions and was unlucky to trundle the ball just wide on two occasions.
For the third period, Ambrit dug deep to find renewed energy and determination. From the off, they pinned the home team back and pressed them relentlessly. Emma and Vittorio threw themselves into attacking positions and did a lot to open up space. Trym, now alone in defence, coped admirably. The first chance fell to Ruben but he had to take the bouncing ball early and shot high. The second chance fell to Ben but he shot wide. Emma had a couple of shots too but it was Diego who scored the equaliser. He beat the last defender and shot past the oncoming goalkeeper with confidence. Neither side wanted to settle for a point. Ambrit continued to attack but were often forced to scurry back to defend quick breaks from an ever more dangerous opponent. Then Sara won a ball on the right, turned inside and found Ben with a ball that bounced in front of him; what happened next, we have seen from Ben before: he launched a high, high shot from the halfway line that always looked like it might come straight down onto the goalkeeper and sneak just under the bar... and it did! What a win!!
TEAM: Gabriele, Trym, Emma, Vittorio, Ruben, Ben, Francesco, Diego, Sara
