With a well-balanced and formidable lineup, the team sought an early advantage, and they wasted no time making an impact.

Just six minutes into the game, the breakthrough came. A beautifully weighted pass from Leila found its way to captain Leanne, who displayed her trademark composure as she guided the ball through the goalkeeper’s legs and into the back of the net. The early goal set the tone for the match, as the team continued to assert their dominance, controlling possession and keeping the opposition under relentless pressure.

With the defenders confidently pushing up the field and the midfield dictating play, the opposition struggled to gain any meaningful ground. Their goalkeeper proved to be a temporary lifeline, pulling off a couple of crucial saves to keep them in contention. However, persistence paid off once more—just six minutes later. Leilah delivered a perfectly lofted corner into the box, where Kelly D was ready and waiting. Rising above the defense, she met the ball with precision, directing her header past the keeper to make it 2-0.

As halftime approached, a series of tactical substitutions were made, knowing that the adjustments might disrupt the team’s attacking fluidity. Although the changes affected the game’s rhythm, the team continued to battle tirelessly, both on and off the ball. Their defensive resilience remained solid, limiting the opposition to just two attempts on goal.

In the second half, as fresh legs rotated into the game, the team once again found their stride. A switch in formation allowed them to press even deeper into the opposition’s half, though it came at the cost of leaving gaps at the back. Fortunately, their defense held firm. Goalkeeper Chez made crucial saves, while Brooke—normally a midfielder but stepping into a defensive role—worked tirelessly to help maintain the clean sheet.

With just five minutes left on the clock, the moment of the match arrived in spectacular fashion. Leila played an expertly measured ball from the back line toward the sideline, where Molly awaited. Showing exceptional technique, she took the ball directly out of the air, turned, and unleashed a stunning volley that soared over the goalkeeper’s head and into the net. The crowd gasped in awe before erupting into applause at the sheer brilliance of the strike.

As the final whistle blew, the team celebrated a well-earned 3-0 victory—a commanding performance that underscored their skill, teamwork, and determination. A truly deserved result and another step forward in their Summer League campaign.
