Liverpool AFC (h) |
20/07/2024 Friendly Match Venue: Y Traeth (k.o 2.30) Noddwr y Gêm / Match Sponsor: Noddwyr y Bêl / Match Ball Sponsors: CPD PORTHMADOG ............ 0 AFC LIVERPOOL ....................2 Joel Skillen 7',49' A goal after 7 minutes gave the visitors from Liverpool the early advantage and then in a near repeat when the 2nd came just 4 minutes into the second period to more or less ensure the victory. Despite some late end to end attacking football there were no further additions to the scoreline. In atrocious weather conditions the two squads served up some good quality, entertaining football. The visitors taking the early lead with a fine sweeping move, breaking down the left and Joel Skillen completed it all with a fine angled shot into the far corner of the net, giving Ollie Farebrother no chance. Port responded well and came close to an immediate equaliser. Indeed for a large part of the first half they enjoyed the greater share of the possession and the territorial advantage but, despite drawing several good saves from the visiting keeper, failed to penetrate a well organised defence. The Port defence on the other hand had no time to relax as the visitors were a real threat on the break with some pacey counter attacks. For Port Josh Banks, preparing for yet another season in the red and black, provided a good supply of useful balls down the left and Caio Evans, in central midfield, was his usual bundle of creative energy. 0-1 to AFC Liverpool at the interval. Just 4 minutes into the 2nd period and the visitors had doubled their advantage. The ball flew loose on the edge of the box and Joel Skillen again, this time with the the neatest of chips over Ollie Farebrother, to find the corner of the net. Plenty of substitutes during the rest of the 2nd half but there were no further additions to the score. AFC Liverpool struck the bar and Port forced many, many corners but failed to turn pressure into goals. Gareth Williams |
