Pretty even so far. HC controlling possession but no threatening chances so far

Neville countered off a HC corner, leads to a decent opportunity, HC counter the other way, #2 takes a flick on, great solo effort, shot goes just wide. Best chance of the game for either team. Ref singles deflection, ensuing corner, header on target but easy save for Neville GK

Throw-in HC into the box, #10 does well to control it and take a nice volley on target but right to Neville keeper.
Moments later #9 for Neville gets in behind but HC defender does well to recover and block his shot

Yellow card for #2 HC for a bad challenge. Ensuring free kick for Nevillefrom midfield, kick gets all the way through and ends up being just wide

HT
1-0 Holy Cross
Holy Cross with lots of possession and great combinations but mainly in their defensive and the middle third. Neville are very well organized at the back and not allowing many chances once Holy Cross gets into the attacking third. First goal was a great individual effort from #2 to dribble past 2-3 Neville defenders for the goal. HC started to get momentum and create a few more chances since then. Sadly I have to run to a wedding so can’t report on the 2H

Text from a friend, good build up from HC, #9 does well to create separation and takes a shot outside the 18 that goes off the crossbar

Game
Holy Cross- 1
Neville-0
Holy Cross dominated possession for the entirety of the game. Neville had maybe a few chances in the second half. Holy Cross could have been better in the final third. Neville GK made several nice saves.

Neville's best player Arnold Cruz #7 was held pretty much ineffective the whole game. Holy Cross's defense was on point.

Go Tigers!
And congrats to Neville on a great run! 24+ hours of travel to beat Rummel on Tuesday and return to face Holy Cross the following Saturday at home is a tough path.
