DEE SAVES THE DAY!

Dee equalised for the Sharks with a cracker

GREAT WHITE SHARKS 4 (Aisha 1, Vicky 2, Dee 1)
STONE ARMY 4
NATIONAL WOMENS FUTSAL FA CUP QUALIFYING LEAGUE - JAN 15, 2014

MIGHTY Dee scored a late screamer to salvage a point for a Sharks team anxious to bounce back after their opening night 14-0 defeat.
Using the smaller-sized pitch at the Birmingham Futsal Arena, it certainly made for a lively game.
Aisha netted the opening goal in the early stages, a clever tackle creating the chance for her to score.
Not too far behind Vicky executed the goal of the night to make it two-nil.
All the Sharks were doing extremely well at this stage, but Stone Army pulled one back from a corner.
Sharks looked strong with a good tempo, but a loose ball allowed Stone to grab their second and make it 2-2.
At the start of the second half Aisha played on (as you would) and scored a comfortable goal.
However, the referee (yes, we all know who) blew the whistle claiming a Stone player was down in the Sharks area and disallowed the goal.
This player left the pitch then returned within seconds of a substitution, but no action was taken.
Poor sportsmanship but this didn't stop the Sharks.
Vicky scored again, but Stone levelled once more, scoring off the angle.
The final 10 minutes were crucial for both teams.
Stone got ahead with another powerful goal, putting Sharks behind for the first time.
But then mighty Dee-namite scored a screamer, making it 4-4.
The Sharks pushed hard to find that winning goal but the odds were against them and it ended a draw.
Both teams took a point apiece, nevertheless a better performance by the Sharks tonight.
