It was a very even game and the next goal was going to be very important and it came for the title chasers. Super play down the right produced a great cross and ended with their #11 looping a superb header over Colin in goal, 1-3.
If Montgomery thought they had put daylight between us then they were very much mistaken. As any of Inters oppositions will tell you this is one team that doesnt give up. Superb linkup play between Navid, Alex, Rico put Kane through one-on-one with the goalkeeper only for him to two his shot past the near post, with Mackay and Halsall lurking.
The next chance to equalise wasn't that far away and this time it did result in a goal. a superb Navid pass released Kane down the right wing only to be beaten to the ball by the keeper. With excellent pressure by Kane, the goalkeeper sent a terrible clearance which fell straight to the feet of Mackay. Taking one touch onto his left and 30 yards out he let fly with a sweetly hit speculative shot, that looked to go over before hitting the underside of the bar at the top left corner and dropping into the net of the unguarded goal, for probably the goal of the season nevermind the game, 2-3.
Inter should have been level from the Montgomery kick off. Robbed of possession Inter mounted an attack down the right which saw kane send in a superb low ball beating the keeper from a yard out, only for Alex and Will at the back post and on top of the under pressure defender, to see the ball unbelieveably cleared by the defender. 9 times out of ten, the defender would have turned it in.
This was probably the turning point, as Montgomery restored their two goal advantage from a corner kick. The Inter boys were caught ball watching as the big defender had the simplest of tasks, drilling the ball through a cluster of bodies as the ball dropped to him, 2-4.
A superb effort from the opposition produced a great save by the Inter keeper in goal, stretching out fully to his left to double punch the effort around the post for a corner.
Despite nearly wiping out a previous two-goal lead you could sense ther Inter players felt that time and luck was running out for them. The game became stretched and Montgomery started to get a grip on the game. A superb save to his left hand side by Colin really kept the Inter hopes alive.
The game was wrapped up before the end and some would say, that the margin didnt represent the flow of the game but it did come in the 85 minute. A clean strike saw off any chances of an Inter fight back to make the final score 2-5. |
