K.C.C 3 – 3 Laos Athletic

Goal: Mustafa
Goal: Fish Assist: Michael
Goal: Ade

A rearranged game due to cup fixture clashes brought LAFC’s game against KCC forward. LAFC travelled to the ground determined to make amends for the disappointing equaliser in the last minute against S’boro Lane. LAFC were playing into the wind in the first half although for most of the early stages the game was mainly being played by LAFC players. So when KCC scored the first of the game it was a bit of a surprise – a long range effort into the top corner. LAFC continued to apply the pressure and eventually equalized with a great individual goal from Mustafa. Mustafa seemed to be speared on by the fact that the match was being filmed!!!!! A second soon followed with some good play around the box and then Michael played the ball back to Fish who was outside the area who placed the ball into the top corner. The celebration that followed saw Fish remove his shirt and do the rock the baby celebration. His first goal since he became a father! Half time loomed and the half ended 1 – 2 in LAFC’s favour.

A half time substitution for an injured Richard gave Julian the opportunity to come and take the left side. Hoping to now have the advantage of the wind behind them LAFC were disappointed when the wind dropped. KCC seized this opportunity and came up with an equalizer. 15 mins from time the manger (Jon B) makes an inspired substitution. Fish comes off, Alix moves into the middle and Ade comes on into the right wing position. A couple of minutes later with his 4th or 5th touch of the match Ade receives the ball outside the area and shoots (apparently!!!) and the ball hits the opposite upright and goes in. LAFC regain the lead. Unfortunately the match and one goal left in it and it belonged to KCC who about 5 mins from time equalized and the scored remained 3 – 3 to the end.
