Mechanika Forest 1 – Formartin United 1
At times, a tie can feel like a win while at others it can feel like a defeat.
For Forres fans, taking a point off Formartine will likely be a cause for celebration, while the Formartine faithful who came into this game with a 100 percent record for 2023 may still take some comfort in maintaining an undefeated record over that period, however They are disappointed in dropping two points.
The result may have been a fair distribution of goals and points in a game where this was decided in the brief period of two minutes either side of the interval.
Conditions were reasonable with little wind and sunshine and a pitch that was lumpy enough to be fairly level albeit perfectly playable.
The ball spent much more time in the air than on the deck.
United started brilliantly taking the game straight to their hosts and mounted a number of attacks to nail the Elgin end of the field.
It was clear that they wanted to create a high line of defense and press play into the Forres area.
In the fourth minute Crawford stripped Baron and sent the ball to Gallagher in the inside right channel.
He looped it forward left to Wade who cut into the box before being blocked by the keeper near the left post.
United established a pattern of successive waves of attack but found Force quick on the ball and determined enough to allow United no time in possession.
United’s opening pressure spell yielded two or three corners but they were not pressed enough to threaten a young and inexperienced keeper.
Force showed from the start that they were willing to attack United whenever they could, and with both defenses dominating for long periods, most of the action was confined to the penalty area.
As the inning progressed, their share of possession also increased to the point where an opening goal seemed as likely on one side as the other.
In the event that it turns out that Forres.
With time running out at the end of the first half, they managed, really for the first time, to keep a stretch of attack across several stages and they had United. [with the exception of Wade]installed in their box.
The danger ended with a goal kick, and United returned directly to the attack, but a mistake on the goalkeeper returned the ball to the owners of the land, and a counterattack began.
This went through several phases and a shot from McLennan was pushed wide by McDonald until a Thomas-sought Barron still managed to get the ball to Wood who was lurking an odd twenty yards outside United’s left corner. Box.
From there he volleyed the ball over the box packed into the postage stamp corner of the net.
It was almost at the end of the first half and United could do no more than pass the ball up the pitch before halftime intervention.
The appeal saw United press immediately to compensate with a coordinated attack into the goal area.
A free-flowing right-footed break quickly earned a corner kick there after Fraser attempted to block Myykyta’s cross.
This was played into the near service area and charged upwards by a crowd of players, WADE was the first to react and get the ball between the keeper and the ball to quickly shoot it into the net from a few feet away.
United had the platform and the ability to go from there to win the game.
It wasn’t because they didn’t want to try, but failed to do so, but the combination of an unexpectedly blazing home side and some bad breaks prevented them.
They had chances to grab them but the young, energetic and energetic home team did enough to make sure those were few and far between.
However, until he was replaced by Hanratty, Mykyta repeatedly managed to send quality balls from the inside left channel into the main penalty area only to find half the chances created in this way were somehow contained by the home defense or United’s inability to Advance it after that point. .
The closest they came to securing all points for Formarten came in the 85th minute when a close-range shot from Gallagher off the line bounced off the goalkeeper’s boot without him apparently knowing it.
Crawford also found himself with only the keeper to beat about 12 yards out, but the ball swayed just enough to miss it completely.
Formartine will play worse and win, but now they have to face the fact that their recent impressive form has made them an important enough scalp for them to take to other sides to raise their game against them.
