39 minute mark: Mamam crosses to Fletcher in the box.. he heads it.. just wide right.

Halftime: Down 1-0. Their defense is shutting us down. They have over 48,000 fans here.
62 minute mark: Duff is hurt and has to leave the pitch. I put Alfonso on for him. Mamam is tired. I put Cook in for Fletcher, and slide Fletcher out to right wing.
77 minute mark: Alfonso crosses it to Marino by the far post in the box.. he heads it.. just over the bar.

Game over. 1-1 tie in which our offense was stifled most of the match.
We each had 9 shots (they had 5 on target, we had 2 on target)
Sylvain Distin who started left fullback had a great game and won MoM, 33 of 44 passes, 2 of 2 tackles, 8 of 9 headers, 6 interceptions, 3 runs.
Jonathan Spector who they recently acquired had an 8 for form and played stifling defense today.
