Game Summary (by Randal):

  Despite the 3-1 scoreline against Lokomotiv Goyang, after the final whistle, there was a general feeling of “we should have done better” amongst the Harriers. Our shooting was the biggest problem. Francesco’s two blasts in the first half were valiant long-range efforts which barely missed the crossbar; otherwise, the shots taken by our strikers and mid-fielders were better characterized as gaffs: sitters kicked wide of the post or chipped over the net; or perfect crosses headed over the bar. Lokomotiv’s keeper deserves a lot of credit for keeping the score relatively close, but I’m sure even he would agree that he was helped by our sloppy shooting. Against teams higher in the table, the Harriers would have been punished for such a display.

  If I had to point out a bright spot in the game (other than the fact we won), it would be the performance of the mid-field in the first half, especially the passing between Francesco, Christophe, Jean-Blaise and Guillaume. It was crisp and inventive. Unfortunately, the midfield lost some of it’s cohesiveness after the halftime substitution of Christophe and J-B. J-B in particular dominated the left side of the field and was rewarded with a goal. Despite several misses, Guillaume’s onslaught of shots eventually found the net. Aiden rounded out the scoring with a poached shot from the top of the box.
