| DC were looking to continue their good form today
against a Piranhas side heavily beaten in their previous game. DC employed a 5
man midfield which control the game from start to finish. The first five minutes
were fast a furious with DC having some slick passing exchanges. Piranhas rode
the initial pressure and the game evened out. The game was fairly balanced, with
DC applying the greater pressure but lacking quality in the final third.
Continued pressure eventually paid off with good wing work leading to a cross,
with Nick Smith firing home from short range. The second goal came quickly
afterwards with good link-up play and a great run from Steve Bell leading to a
ball across the box which Jordi made no mistake in sweeping home. So it remained
2-0 going into half time. The second half was completely dominated by DC. An
initial run down the left in which Nick Smith retained possession picking a
great pass for the next goal set the standard. DC's passing, use of space was
excellent. Each player battling for each other and unselfish passing in front of
goal was evident. Further goals from Simon(2), Scaldie(1), Jordi(2) and Steve
Bell(1) and Mason (2) sealed an emphatic victory, with Mase being the pick of
the bunch (who was in a class of his own on the day!!) |
