Currie Fc in Barcelona - Match 2

Player Pro Ajax the next opposition, from Liverpool. Unsure of the connection either.

Ajax had won their first match 4-0 and definitely the main competition in our group.

Team line up starting Ferry, Tollins, Beattie, Robertson, Neill, White and D’Angelo.

We started brightly and had the Dutch masters camped in their own half for most of the opening period. Making fine use of the wings, we created plenty space wide but the balls across just didn’t make it to strikers.

Half time at 0-0 and again definitely deserved better based on possession and chances created, but in reality never made the keeper work hard enough.

Watson, Herd and Hanratty all came on in the second half as we hunted the opening goal.

It came from a corner, whipped in by Neill and a spectacular overhead kick from Watson to the delight of the crowd once more.

Watson then slid D’Angelo through who rounded the keeper but made a great save, but the refund bounced to Watson to knocked in the second.

In the end a comfortable 2-0 win and never gave the Cruyff boys a sniff.

Knowing a draw will guarantee group winners a place in the semi finals, it’s onward to take on the Irish
