Hubbard 1, Canfield 2
Canfield, Oh—Hubbard battles
Canfield tough in non league action Saturday night at Canfield. Canfield got on the board first on a rare
ball that got over the top of the defenders that set up a one on one with the
keeper for the 1-0 lead.
The game went back and forth
with Canfield getting a little more ball movement in the middle of the field
but the Hubbard’s defense wasn’t giving up any good scoring chances. The defense was very effective keeping
Canfield off balance tonight with sporadic trapping, very good tackling and some
very nice saves from keeper Steve Roose.
At the 35:00 mark of the
first half Canfield found some space at the top of the penalty box and scored a
nice goal in the upper right corner of the net for the 2-0 halftime lead.
Hubbard stepped up and played
a very solid second half. The Eagles did
not concede any goals in the half and worked very hard to bring the game within
one goal. Tim Kemner’s
move back to the attacking mid paid off just 12 minutes in the second
half. Tim received the ball in the
middle of the field, beat one defender to his right and took a 35 yard shot
that caught the keeper off his line for a beautiful goal that cut the lead to
2-1 Canfield.
Hubbard pushed hard for the
tying goal and created a few chances to tie the game. Overall it was a very strong game for the
Eagles who left it all on the field tonight.
