Gunga vs. Rams
Worcester, MA - The Big Blue traveled to Worcester this afternoon to take on an undefeated rams team. The first 45 minutes of the game became a contest of back-and-forward action between the two teams, with Andover creating the most straightforward chances to take the lead. Unfortunately, our attempts sailed wide on the day, and the rams GK had an exceptional day of action between the posts. The Big Blue enjoyed possession in the second half, but the home team had tremendous defensive discipline and did not surrender many spaces in front or behind. Additionally, the home team had an exceptional player who we defended well for 80 minutes but, on a defensive error, collected the ball and turned at the corner of the 18-yard box to fire a laser shot into the upper 90. That was an incredible shot by the rams striker. The rams would extend their lead on a corner kick that bounced around, and the ball unluckily bounced into our goal. Not a great result on the road, but we learned a lot, and it was great to see us compete well against a team that is bound to be in the postseason.
Thank you for always supporting us home and away. We look forward to bouncing back and bringing you joy this upcoming Wednesday at home versus KUA.
