What a start! Just 10 seconds in and Bobby G set the tone, intercepting a loose pass and finishing coolly into the bottom corner. The perfect beginning to a semi-final showdown.
The early pressure continued as Bobby produced a moment of pure quality - controlling Luca's long ball with his first touch, deftly lifting it over the defender's head before smashing home a left-foot volley. Sublime skill!
The floodgates were well and truly open. Logan's persistence down the wing created our third, sliding the ball across for Leo to tap in at the back post.
Shortly after, Bobby completed his hat-trick, reacting quickest to Logan's rebounded shot. 4-0 up and flying!
Woodpecker showed character to pull two back before half-time, but the Lions weren't to be denied. Despite Woodpecker's pressure, Luca pulled off a string of fine saves to maintain their advantage.
A handball in the box gave Logan the chance to restore our three-goal cushion from the penalty spot, which he dispatched with trademark composure.
The final nail came when Bobby grabbed his fourth after a great long ball from Luca, wrapping up a comprehensive 6-2 victory.
