Team forgets to score in promising game
Despite a heartbreaking 1-0 loss vs Sunrise Prime FC on Saturday evening Head Coach Yvonne Ploeg was still pleased with the performance of the team: "We actually played well for the first time. We had several good combination plays through the midfield and switched field well several times. We just have a problem scoring goals."
The Lions were the closest to scoring when Britt Tonis overlapped on the left side and took a shot in the low left corner but the goalkeeper managed to save the ball resulting in (just) a corner kick. Sunrise Prime FC managed to create one chance after a mistake in the back, and their (fast) forward put the ball in the net for a 1-0 lead. Despite getting several corner kicks in the 2nd half the Lions struggled to get on the scoreboard.
The team travels to Miami next week when they take on FC Surge on Sunday June 13 at 4pm. The game will be on livestream on MyCujoo.
