Holmer Green 3 – 3 Kingsbury London Tigers

Right from the start of the game on 25th January, Kingsbury took control and an early free kick showed the intent as it just whistled wide from Adil Salih. Then on the eighth minute a long ball over the top of Holmer’s defence was chased down by Kye Hendrix showing all his pace to beat the out the rushing keeper to the ball and lob it into an open goal to open the scoring.

Kingsbury kept up the pressure as first in the 15th minute Hardy Pinto Moreira ran onto a through ball and just shot wide, then Farhad Anvari had a shot marginally past the post.

Holmer Green had their own moments too, when from a corner Dean Allen shot just wide followed by a near miss by Lee Putnam. Their next chance came from a free kick which smashed against the post in the 36th minute.

In the 41st minute Moreira picked up a long goal kick just over the half way line and ran through the defence to smash the ball past keeper Little into the top corner. Ivan Gomes Forbes followed this up with a great run down the left and his cross found Hendrix in the centre but he scuffed his shot which rolled to the keeper with no power.

Early into the second half Kingsbury won a throw on the left which came to Edson Cata and his cross reached Moreira at the far post who drilled it home for a 3-0 lead on the 56th minute.

However, the 66th minute Holmer struck back when Lee Putnam pick up on a uncontrolled cross and struck the ball goalwards to pull one back for them.

Right at the end of the game two pieces of suicidal defending saw firstly Daniel Boateng hit a fierce shot across goal and into the far corner for their second and then Dean Allen broke through to level the scores after 93 minutes, making the score an even 3-3.
