Overview
I was hoping for a good preformance today and i am dissapointed with this result.Lanciano had most of the possession and i think that is why they got a draw. The first goal was when morreti floated the ball into our area which Bennedetti got a headed goal. The equaliser didn't come until second half when paul evans recieved from gardner and scored a stunning 25 yard curler. After a foul by testa on 79 min, a freekick was quickly taken which went to the far post which breckin easily headed in. I thought that Lanciano wouldn't get back after that but they did. On 89 minutes a header by grilla reached D'Ambrosini who had plenty of space and slotted it past Pederson. The Man of the match was Stefano Testa of Lanciano. I thought the best player for forest was Paul Evans because of his goal. I wasn't too impressed with pedersens effort though who was the main reason we lost today
