[> "Price on the ball," <] Michael Harrison said. [> "He's got the beating of most defenders." <]
Nathan looked up and saw his brother Marcus making a run into the 18-yard box. The cross was inviting.
Marcelo read the danger. He stepped in front of Marcus and headed the ball clear.
[> "Excellent defending," <] Peter Walsh noted. [> "Marcelo timing that perfectly." <]
The ball dropped to Connor Davis. The Hastings playmaker controlled it well, then looked for another attack.
Davis played a quick pass to Sam Rodriguez on the left wing. The winger had space to run at Ollie Pritchard.
[> "Rodriguez with the ball," <] Michael Harrison said. [> "He's got a wicked left foot." <]
The winger cut inside, away from Pritchard. Will van Drunen came across to help, but Rodriguez was quick.
The shot came from twenty yards. Low and hard, aimed at the bottom corner.
Freddie Booth dove to his right. The young keeper got his fingertips to the ball, pushing it wide.
