Courageous display gives Uni surprise victory

Eighth placed Sydney University gave a fighting and disciplined rear guard performance to defeat the more highly ranked Enfield Rovers 5-4 in an exciting and entertaining round 7 encounter.
The game started at a fast pace with both teams testing out goalkeepers Daniel Ingrati from Enfield and Cameron Nascon from Uni.
The first goal came in the 6^th minute after an Enfield defender lost possession in the own half. This allowed Michael Watson to weave through the defence and guide a low wide shot past the keeper. The lead was consolidated in the 11^th minute through an interception by Steve Vargas who dribbled down the left flank and crossed directly to the boot of Ben Hudson who eased the ball into the back of the net.
Enfield?s reply came in the 13^th minute with a long distance shot from Nick Latsinos to beat the keeper. The equaliser from Enfield came a minute later when keeper Nascon came out of his area to clear a ball but was beaten to the task by a quickly arriving Scott Tonkin.
In the blink of an eye the momentum of the game seemed to be running with the Rovers. But to their credit Sydney University kept their cool and produced two stunning goals in the last 3 minutes of the half. In the 18^th minute Steve Vargas took a shot from half way that smashed into the right post before hitting the back of the net. Watson then surprised everyone when he took a shot from close to the right corner which beat the defence, found the right post and crossed the line.
In the final moments of the half the score could have been greater if not for Ingrati saving two penalty shots. Sydney University went to half time with a 4-2 lead.
The second half started with an early goal from Enfield?s Anthony Dahdah to narrow the margin to 4-3.
A really exciting and tense game continued with end to end play as both sides hit the post on numerous occasions. The Uni team had conceded 5 fouls in the half after only eight minutes but showed excellent composure from this point.
The game was sealed in the last minute with Michael Watson slamming a free kick past the defence.
The excellent Cameron Nascon in goal and his defence was finally beaten as Enfield scored a deserved consolation goal from the last kick of the game after Uni finally conceded a foul. Enfield won the second half but Uni won the game.
The final score in what was a very exciting and entertaining game for the spectators was 5-4. Sydney University deserved their win while Enfield can lament on a game that should have been won but got away from them.
