HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Alistair Ford was close to leveling this match up in the 13th minute if it wasn't for his shot being blocked by the Trojans' defense.
  • Moments later, the Cobras leveled the game with an Alexis Abalam header that found the back of the net. The ball was bouncing around in the Trojans' box from head to head when Abalam chipped the Keeper with his header into the top right corner of the net.
  • The Torjans retook the lead in the 57th minute.
  • After going down, the Cobras gave their all on offense but couldn't quite break down the Torjans enough to find an equalizer.
