It was a rapid start for Adam Lawrence's side, setting the tone for a dominant performance to come. Ashton Missin seized the ball deep in our half and charged through the centre of the park, before passing out wide to James Scanlon on the edge of the box, who hit a shot to the far post and out of the grasp of George Pickford to make it 1-0.
Our lead was doubled with just over 15 minutes on the clock, as the referee awarded us a penalty for a Coby Ebere handball following a short-corner routine. Gabriele Biancheri duly stepped up to convert the spot-kick, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way in the process.
