Deserved at least a draw

A great team performance that everyone should be proud of, UCL won the league last year and are a very talented side when it comes to playing football, last year we was hit for 6 loosing 6-1, last game of the season we turned on the pressure but just fell short loosing 2-1. We've strengthend our squad over the summer, missing two key players we had ship shape the squad around playing some out of position. We dominated early on putting them on the back foot showing what we had to offer, a few long balls to there very speedy wingers and front men put them in front, another quick fire goal came from a misjudged pass. Sam Baptiste earning his first league goal this season after the ref played advantage in our favour and Baptiste shooting on the turn. We turned on the pressure again and put our all in getting a equaliser, keeping the pressure on we was going for the win hitting the post late on. UCL played some great football using pace and accuracy to get the winner. What we took out of this game is that we united as a team and played for each other - something we can build on and carry us forward, we know we have it in us we just have to go out and show it WERE READY BRING IT ON !!
