Late late heartbreak 💔
Hopeman F.C 5-4 LUFC
1st half -
3 minutes in Hopeman took the lead with an effort off the post was finished on the second attempt. Not even a minute later we were level when some great play from big Joseph down the right hand side, his cut back was met by Ashley whose effort landed to the feet of Ddey who took one touch and rifled it in for the equaliser in 4 minutes. Hopeman retook the lead on the 20th minute when a freekick was saved but again followed in on the rebound. 5 minutes later a long ball was dealt with by stand-in keeper Allan Geddes but the ball landed to the Hopeman attacker who lofted it over into the empty net to go 3-1 up. Some excellent linkup play from the frontline seen Jordi in in goal but he was swiped down by the full back, Ashley stepped up but the keeper made a great save but he managed to score on the rebound to make it 3-2 HT.
2nd half -
5 minutes into the restart we were awarded another penalty when Ashley was kicked in the face, but from the resulting penalty the keeper made another great save from Ashley and was able to keep it out. A very even affair until 75 minutes when DDey tackled the Hopeman CB and was clean through on goal, evading the defenders attempt to bring him down he lobbed it over the keeper but it bounced back off the bar but he was there to collect the second ball and tap it in for 3-3. We took the lead for the first time on the 80th minute when Ddeys freekick was met by Ashley who rose highest and headed it in for us to go 4-3 up. Hopeman got the equaliser on the 88th minute when the ball was cleared but the attacker took it down with both his hands and the ball got in the back of the net. Into added time the hosts took the lead for the final time with an excellent freekick to win the game 5-4
