Loadsa late goals

[LeedsWCFC]

A couple of interesting scores yesterday.

In the Kent Senior Trophy, Herne Bay were 2-0 down to visitors VCD Athletic, who had scored ther 2nd with just 5 minutes left, but two later goals (86' & 90') by Lawrence & Forster resulted in extra time. I bet they wish they hadn't bothered as VCD scored 5 more to end up winning 7-2.

And never leave a game early! The Midland Alliance game between Biddulph Victoria and Westfields was 1-0 at half-time and 3-1 after an hour. 7 goals in the last 18 minutes gave a final score of 7-4!

Thanks to the wonders of the world wide wait i was able to see the opening game of the African Cup of Nations live last night and witnessed a crazy, almost unbelievable match.

When Angola converted a penalty to go 4-0 up on 74 minutes if ever a game was over this was it. Mali plugged away gamely and pulled one back in a goalmouth scramble after 79 but even whe Freddy Kanute got a second with a powerful header a few minutes later it seemed that Mali were just going away with the consolation of scoring the best goal of the game as the 90 minutes elapsed with Angola still 4-2 ahead.

Incredibly, the Angolan defence and their suspect keeper, Carlos, crumbled twice more in the four minutes of injury time as Mali completed an unlikely comeback for a 4-4 draw. Not the greatest quality of football i've ever seen but highly etertaining for all that. ;D

Someone supposedly put £4400 on Angola to win when they were 4-0 up.

Oops.
