AMsoccer 2-3 Fossoway

Richie Lawson scores the opening goal from the penalty spot.

Fossoway were the visitors and they arrived in good form, so a competitive match was anticipated.

The game burst to life with AMsoccer being awarded a penalty in the opening minute.

Macaulay slipped a clever pass into the feet of Lawson and a smart turn resulted in the visiting defender bringing him down.

Lawson dusted himself off before scoring the opener.

Fossoway were gifted an equlaiser as a result of a goalkeeping error but credit to Duncan, who reacted first to tucked the loose ball into the

net.

AM went in search of the next goal and it duly arrived on 30 mins when a long throw was poorly nodded out as far as Lawson, who guided a left foot shot into the corner of the net.

The AMsoccer players knew that Fossoway would rally in the second period and it was up to them to compete and produce another strong half.

Fossoway blazed a good chance over the bar before their equaliser did arrive.

AM will feel they had chances to clear their lines but the ball was fired into the net for 2-2 and game on.

AMsoccer did create a fantastic chance on 80 mins, as a floated free kick put Watt in behind the Fossoway defence but his spectacular volley smashed the goalkeepers shoulder and landed on top of the crossbar.

It would be from a 91 st minute set play of their own that AMsoccer would lose the match.

The ball was headed clear, releasing Sneddon, who went on a run through the middle of the pitch, making up 60 yards before firing past Pratt into the top corner.
