Sap 3 - Sporting 5
Defence wasn't too good for both teams, but the goals were nice. I was dissappointed with Walks' refing today. To say he didn't have an effect on the outcome is debatable.
There was a clear pass back 10 yards from goal that wasn't called. The linesman put up his flag to indicate the infraction but Walks played on. We just came back for the 2nd time in the game and started have the control somewhat near the end of the half. This was the most important play of the game. A golden chance 10 yards out at 2-2 would have been nice.
Walks was flustered in the 1st half and needed the break to compose himself. The physical play and intensity contributed to a tough game to officiate. The no-goal call in the 2nd was very questionable, and the no-call on the PK where Trevor Todd was ran over from behind (although TT embelished his fall) was questionable as well.
Things could have been different.
But saying all that, Sporting is a very good team. They have talent, are physical, fast, and fit. It was a great game to watch and was head and shoulders above the Inter-Cliff game.
