The Brent U14 Girls’ squad bounced back following last week’s defeat, producing an outstanding team performance to win 6-0 away to Kinja.
Within three minutes of the kick off, a through ball by Giuseppina Carnevale found Chloe O’Donoghue who took her chance well and scored. Carnevale then got on the scoresheet, driving down the middle and firing the ball home. Within minutes Carnevale scored again to make the score 3-0; good play from Chloe O’Donoghue set up the Brent captain, whose strike found the top right corner.
Brent started the second half strongly, efforts from Maya Rosenberg and Ugomma Ekendu-Obi almost added to their lead. Kinja managed to get through the Brent defence and Scout Waddington made a magnificent reaction save to keep the goalbound shot out.
After that scare, Brent’s dominance saw them get a fourth goal. Brent put together an excellent team move, which was started by Elizabeth Ulusele skipping past a Kinja defender and passing to Tirion Lewis who played a lovely through ball to send Ekendu-Obi one-on-one with the goalkeeper. She made no mistake and found the net.
Scout Waddington then came out of goal to add a brace of goals. Her first came from a Maya Rosenberg cross which found Waddington who fired home. The talismanic Warrington completed the scoring by finishing another team move which saw Waddington coolly find the bottom left corner of the goal.
After the game Joe Pascoe, Brent coach said: “I’m very proud of the team. I am so happy that what we worked on in training was implemented during the match. It was a great performance.”
