Our team showed great resilience and determination after going down to 10 men for a brief period, with Matthijs de Ligt leaving the pitch for treatment on a head injury. At that point, the Reds were “very angry,” according to our coach, and it was easy to see why. But instead of letting their emotions get the better of them, the team rallied together and refocused on the match.
For his part, Garna was having a tough time finding the back of the net, as Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken twice saved his shots in the first half. However, it wasn’t all one-way traffic, and our attackers continued to work on their chances. In fact, it was a particular individual effort that paid off just minutes after the game resumed. Marcus Rashford and I had worked on a new move in training, and it paid off in a big way, as I scored the equalizing goal.
