MOTM: Blackstone
Harrogate Town found that magic touch again.
In the 17th minute it looked like maybe a shock on the cards as F.C. Saint took a shock lead through Wongsena who headed home from a Gaffoor cross. Then Harrogate turned it up a gear and in the 29th minute Giel hit a wonderful free-kick past the keeper from 25 yards out. Town just couldn't finish there efforts in the rest of the 1st half.
"nd half Harrogate were back at it and in the 52nd minute Blackstone scored with a header from Assoumani's corner. Then a minute later Blackstone became provider as he broke through and with just the keeper to beat he passed it over to Haruno to tap in. The 69th minute saw harrogate hit on the break a quick ball over the top to Blackstone saw him 1 on 1 with the keeper again and again rather than being greedy played it across to Norris to score this time. Harrogate took there foot off the peddle abit and just kept passing the ball around. Then in the 82nd minute Harrogate broke again. Blackstone again on the run and crossed from the left for Gary Neville to rifle home from the edge of the box. Then 2 minutes later Bale scored a header from a Giel cross.
I am glad to see the team back to there scoring ways. Tonight I play away to FC Neubuz in the CL and I may put out a few of the reserves as we are already through to the next round.
