Mike King Cup 1st Round: Laos Athletic 1 - All Saints 2

In they're first competitive match All Saints beat LAFC to go through to the next round of the Mike King Cup. It was a disappointing blow for LAFC who were hoping to better last seasons semi-final achievement.

All Saints first goal came from a set piece in the first half. A free kick on the right side of the box being slotted home by unmarked All Saints player. LAFC soon equalized with an All Saints own goal. In a goal mouth scramble All Saints were unable to clear the ball from their box and one attempt saw the ball go towards the goal line. The keeper grasped the ball and pulled it back but the referee deemed that the whole ball had already crossed the line. Another defensive error gave All Saints their second. An eventful first half with All Saints having the greater share of possession.

The second half underway and LAFC came out strong dominating for long periods of time. Unfortunately though they couldn't find the back of the net although they did manage to hit the woodwork 5 or 6 times and were unlucky not to score. Although not playing well enough to deserve the win a draw would have been a deserved result.

With two straight defeats, a first for LAFC, they now need to bounce back and focus on the league for the next couple of weeks.
