Scottish Cup π - Match Report 2 of 2!
Fantastic Ferry's "F-Men' Hit Form!
Ferry Athletic Yellows π 7
Brechin City π΄βͺοΈ 2
Alliteration above ^ at its finest ππ and so were the Ferry's Yellows today π
"The Scottish" provided both teams a welcome break from league duties, with both teams playing in the same division (yet to meet in 11-a-side), but having challenging starts to the season.
-
Ferry would race out of the blocks, Jay Sutherland would assist Findlay Logan to score with only a few minutes on the clock.
Brechin tried to hit back immediately with an attack, but Luca Keith would foil the Brechin wide man, sprinting back, winning the ball, playing a great through-ball for Alan Roebuck to shoot wide. Alan would minutes later return the favour, putting a good ball through for Luca, narrowly missing the target to make it 2.
Luca was having a good game wide right, whipping crosses in creating chances; however, he would also display great defensive awareness with a last-man tackle, preventing a Brechin goal after 15minutes.
Euan Duncan was called into action with a solid stop before Ellis Lee played a wonderful pass, assisting Felix Ross to score, making it 2-0.
Almost straight from the kick-off, Alan and Ellis would combine to win the ball back from Brechin, releasing Jay Sutherland, Jay bursting from midfield, then assisted Felix Ross in scoring the 3rd.
In arguably "the move of the game," Ellis Lee played another great through-ball, this time finding Luca, who would then drive and whip in a wonderful delivery that Findlay Logan dispatched at the back post to make it 4-0.
With half-time fast approaching, Brechin countered, a fast attack would result in Euan having to produce a fine stop.
Directly after saving, Euan kicked long, Felix Ross would control brilliantly before running through and completing his hat-trick.
Half Time: 5-0
-
Brechin started the 2nd half on the front foot, a goal-line headed clearance from Ellis Lee and a solid stop again from Euan would precede Brechin getting a deserved goal for continuing to try and attack around 50 minutes.
On a day that it seemed if your name began with"F" you might score, Flynn Maclachlan would prove the theory correct π
Harris Moonlight assisting Flynn for a cool finish to score Ferry's 6th! Minutes later, Flynn rattled the post with the rebound, unable to be converted as Jay Sutherland fired wide just before Alan Roebuck fired over the bar from 25 yards.
With full-time approaching, Theo Westwood would shoot wide, before Flynn would set up Findlay Logan, who would complete his hat-trick and help the admin create a memorable headline (Ok, I stretched that haha!).
Brechin would get one last attack, resulting in another well-deserved goal for their efforts and never giving up.
A good cup win for the Yellows, played out fairly and competitively by both teams. We will see Brechin again in league business, home and away, for hopefully more good games.
Into the hat we go for the next round.
