In your face
Well I guess my strikers felt the need to prove them selves with a number of strikers arriving on try-out contracts.
As we went into what's probably the hardest game of the season for any team in our leauge (River Plate away), I was slightly positive as we came of a victory and managed to fend off a number of corners/crosses without letting anything into the back of the net!
I'll be honest with you though, when Cavenaghi dubbeled their lead after 33 minutes I was praying to who ever might litsen that the numbers wouldn't get out of hand. Before I even finished Navary, one of the biggest stars of our side, decided to do something he haven't done all season - SCORE!
Going in to halftime I told the guys that they we're doing just fine but I knew that there was more in them. I could clearly see that they belived it as well.
River dominated most of the first half but after the intermission we came out and matched them all over the field.
The minutes passed by and I felt that grabbing a point was far from impossible, Navary once again agreed, with twenty minutes to go he got what I hope to be a turningpoint not just for the game, but for the entire season, WE got back on even terms through a CORNER!!! I was extatic, but he wasn't done yet... 15 minutes later he managed to finish of a nice counter and completed his hat-trick.
As icing on the cake Dominguez decided that he wanted to make an impact as well and killed the drama with a late goal as well!
In a matter of minutes we had not just made a terrific comeback against one of the leauges top-teams, but also managed to pull off our first consecutive wins! We might just have gotten our first glimts of light in the very dark tunnel we've dug over the last couple of weeks.
