Football game No.7

In the Queen's Birthday weekend my football team had our seventh football game of the season it was held at Alex Moore Park and we faced North Wellington. 

When we arrived it was freezing and Rhys and I ran around the field desperately trying to keep warm. Our coach didn't turn up to till the game was about to start and it was a bit chaotic he was shouting out to us telling us our position.

The ref was FIFA approved and had a real whistle.

The game begun and we kicked off we made a few silly mstakes and let in two goals and at half time we were losing 2-0 our coach talked to us a told us to start playing propely he said we should be dominating.

The second half begun and North Wellington kcked off Fraser made a quick interception and passed it to me, I ran down the wing as fast as I could and then turned and started to run into the middle I then shot with my right foot (I'm left footed) just outside the box it curled toward the top corner of the goal but  hit the post and went out. My coach shouted "good shot Matt!". I smiled as I ran up the pitch.

The goal kick was taken and it was coming toward me I jumped up and headed it to Fraser, he made a run and got around a couple of players then had a shot I thought it was going to miss and I was about to say good try Fraser but then I saw it fly into the top corner and it hit the net the score was now 2-1.
 
Soon after Bailey had shot from long range and scored, what a goal! 2-2 A bit after that goal Jorge was running up the wing and crossed to Ollie, he got around a player then had a shot and it didn't leave the groung but it rolled into the bottom corner and the keeper couldn't reach it, what a goal. From 2-0 down to 3-2 up what a comeback but then we conceded a penalty, Rhys goa a hand to it but couldn't quite keep it out 3-3.

We then were rewarded a penalty but Ollie blew it and kicked straight at the keeper who just bent down and picked it up.

Final score 3-3 pretty intense game!
