Central United Match Report

Central United 4 (1) Central City (0) 1

Derby day blues as United take a deserved three points against City.

In a very even first half City had the best of the early chances with Josh hitting the post from a free kick and Sam missing from close range. However as the game progressed United began to win the midfield battle and started to take control, and with the game drifting towards stalemate at half time, Alfie Worth was given too much time on the edge of the box and placed a shot into the top corner.


City were 1-0 down at half time for the third game running.


The second half began with United once again winning the physical battle, and with City rushed in possession, they rarely threatened the United goal. The fluent football of the previous two matches never materialised. 


A stroke of bad luck led to United's second goal with a very debatable penalty being awarded for a challenge in the box by Ewan. Alfie duly knocked it in for his second.


From this point on the contest was over and goals 3 and 4 followed before Dylan headed in a late consolation goal.


We will have to wait for the next fixture against Twyford to give the new kit the outing it deserves.
