Review:
Dirty Reading and a poor ref meant we took a few knocks and kicks, but the 95th minute goal was a beauty. From a corner the ball was knocked back to the touch line but Joe Worall made a great overhead kick to put it back in play and Ben Watson volleyed superbly from the edge of the box straight into the net. Last kick of the game? No! That was Figuereido who scored an unfortunate own goal just one minute later to make it 1-1 and nicely set up for the return match in 10 days.
