This was an exciting match, the first match of the 2015 spring season. During the first half the RailHawks were in control. They were leading the attack in the first half. Shipalane scored the first goal of the game to put the RailHawks up 1-0.
It was a great goal because it looked like he was trying to cross the ball to a teammate in the box but it went in the back of the net. The goalkeeper couldn’t stop it and it was a great first goal.
Throughout the first half the RailHawks were in control and that led to great scoring chances and the Fury just had to defend. The Fury didn’t have that many opportunities. The Fury had a penalty and it was saved. The RailHawks were then given a penalty because Shipalane was knocked down in the box. Nacho Novo stepped up to take it and put it in the back of the net. That goal put the Railhawks up 2-0 going into halftime.
In the second half the Fury were in control and it was looking like they were going to come back. In the 84th minute Brandon Poltronieri scored to make the score 2-1 with the RailHawks in the lead. Late in stoppage time Simone Bracello, who came off the bench, put the game away.
The final score was Carolina 3-1 Ottawa. This was a great first match of the season. There were a lot of opportunities for both sides and moving forward they have to capitalize on most of them.
Julian de Guzman, during the second half, received a red card and has to serve a one match suspension next week. How will that affect the the Fury moving forward when they play Minnesota next week? Leave your comments and thoughts on the match below.
