Some games are won, some games are lost and some games - like this one - are just thrown away. Having survived some early pressure, Ambrit took hold of the game and Bernardo shot just over the bar. Mattia then hit the post with a good header off a Giorgio corner and Ambrit took the lead when another corner from Giorgio found its way into the back of the net. A touch of luck, but a deserved lead. Monteverde almost equalised immediately but Santiago made a great save... but then the Monteverde equaliser came almost immediately. Before half time though, a long ball was cleverly controlled by Zach, who drew two defenders and set Mattia up for an accurate strike into the corner: 2-1 at half-time.

The second half was another story. Monteverde took over and almost equalised but Giorgio made a miraculous clearance off the line (Giorgio had another great game today). Bernardo cleared another one off the line: Monteverde were getting closer and closer! They did equalise when a lack of communication in the Ambrit defence allowed the ball through to the striker. He finished clinically and then another mistake in defence - a ball that could have been cleared three times but was allowed to bounce around the penalty area - put the home side 3-2 ahead. Ambrit's desperate attempts to find an equaliser left them open to the counter attack, and the final goal sealed a black period for Ambrit, taking just one point from a possible 9.
And a HUGE thank you to all the supporters who turned up today!
TEAM: Santiago, Carlo, Theo, Giorgio, Bernardo, Emilio, Mattia, Zach, Bertie, Jonah
