This
game was really after the lord mayors show and having now played 3
games in 5 days the strain is starting to take its toll.
It was said
before the game that a 1-0 win would do and that's how it turned out.
The
game never really flowed and it was a case of getting through it without
further injuries.
Phoenix looked a much improved side but didn't trouble
the AFC keeper much with the home side having just a couple of chances
first half as the teams went into the break 0-0.
In the second half it
was a case of looking where the breakthrough would come from and as
midfielder Joe Naylor lay on the floor injured the ball broke loose, he
rose to his feet and lobbed the keeper before dropping back to the floor
and was then taken off.
With the score 1-0 Ed Eley made a fantastic
double save to
keep The Bulls in front.
Late in the game AFC pushed on but couldn't
extend the lead and had to settle for the 1-0 victory that keeps the
title hopes alive.
Tuesday night AFC Mansfield make the short
trip to Glapwell which will be their 4th game in 7 days including 2 cup
finals.
Watch this space !!
