Parempuyre CA 2 WISE 3
A goal with the last kick of the match meant the WISE came back from 2-0 behind to leave Parempuyre with all three points, a result which now means the WISE sit equal third in the league. On a surprisingly warm evening, the WISE totally dominated the match and deserved the win, although I myself am disappointed with my shocking 10-minute spell at the start!
I'd barely touched the ball before I was picking it out of the net. I misjudged a ball that was bouncing across my 6-yard box, it skidded off the grass past me and left their attacker with a simple finish at the back post. I have had better starts... Only a few minutes later it was 2-0. The ball fell nicely to their striker from a corner and with the help of a big deflection, he lashed it past my left hand side from 6 yards. Oh boy.
Determined not to concede again, I rushed out of my goal on more than two occasions and succeeded in averting the danger. What followed was simply amazing. We got a real gift from Parempuyre in the form of the most bizarre own goal I have ever seen. As far as I can remember, I don't think the defender was under any pressure but he turned and volleyed the ball 30 odd yards back towards the keeper, who of course couldn't use his hands, kicked at it wildly, missed and watched as the ball went into his net! It was an absolute freak own goal and I really hope I'll never have to face a back-pass like that!
The goal lifted us as a team, and suddenly shots were raining down on their keeper left, right and centre. Jack and Remy both missed golden chances with headers and Tom perhaps should have done better and hit the target from the edge of the area. 2-1 at half time.
Second half started in the same manner as the first half ended, it was all WISE. After beating pretty much half the opposing team Momo perhaps should have squared the ball instead of going for goal himself, but we had to wait until 20 minutes from time for the equaliser - Tom finally beating the keeper when put through one-on-one.
I only had one thing to do in the whole of the second half and that was to save a header than came right at me, but despite all our pressure and chances it didn't seem like we'd get that winning goal. However, it did come albeit with the final kick of the match. Ben, who again had another superb game, was put through one-on-one, fired a shot on goal that came back out off the underside of the crossbar and fell kindly for him to convert the rebound.
3-2 it finished, and things are looking up for the WISE! With three league matches left of the season, we lie in equal third place (a mere 16 points behind the runaway leaders Lacanau), and have a semi-final match in the cup competition in the coming weeks. Allez les jaunes !
