Before we return to league action this Sunday, hereโs a look back at last weekendโs Sunday Trophy first round tie.
A 4 hour round trip to Dumfries was the first challenge of the day, with everybody arriving on time being the biggest win of the afternoon. A decent start was knocked back slightly after Dumfries took the lead with a lovely finish, however a Mo Saleh double was a good response, taking us into half time 2-1 up.
The second half brought more chances, most of which were hit directly at the keeper (although one of those saves in particular was class, fair play) but Mo completed his hat trick mid way through the second half. In the spirit of making things as difficult as possible, Glasgow conceded two in quick succession, one from a penalty, and one from rubbish defending. After missing a couple more chances as we approached the looming penalty shootout, a Dumfries red card (probably a yellow, but Iโm saying nothing) gave Glasgow a bit of energy, and in the 96th minute Luke Olivier was brought down in the box after a bursting run forward, with Sam MacRae slotting home the winner. A couple more minutes of stoppage time and a chaotic block to deny an equaliser from the Dumfries goalie who came up for a free kick made it interesting at the end, but Saints went back up the road and into the hat for the next round. Fun game, but daft.
