Harrogate, England – This one na for football lovers wey sabi say match no get respect, as Harrogate Town and Crewe Alexandra face each other on the pitch like say na final show down.
First half don land, and na Jack Muldoon from Harrogate wey don show say e get ginger. E sneak behind Crewe defence, tap that ball like say na small child, and boom! First goal don land! But the joy no last well, as Crewe come back strong with Reece Hutchinson weaving his magic from corner, scoring with style, and now na 1-1.
That equaliser come change the whole vibe. Na so Crewe begin control the game like say dem get remote. Harrogate players dey try arrange demself, but e no easy. (Dem for just take palm wine and chill instead!)
Matus Holicek don carry injury come disturb Crewe but no wahala. Jack Lankester wey dey recover from injury don come replace am. Na better replacement, as we dey reason say Lankester fit change the whole game. E suppose show wetin e dey learn for treatment room.
As first half dey draw to a close, na Crewe dey generate corner kicks after corner kicks. But goalkeeper James Belshaw no wan make dem catch am off guard. E dey punch the ball like say na maggi cube! If dem no careful, Harrogate go fit don collect another goal before break.
Meanwhile, Ex-Harrogate midfielder Paul Bolland dey talk am clear: dem gats settle down before dem destroy dem chances. Like say dem dey chase chicken wey don run away!
But Harrogate players gree vex, dey attempt counter-attack after Crewe na im dey shine pass. Ellis Taylor dey chase glory but scatter ball go another side. Sometimes na dis kind decisions wey dey make coach dey pull hair.
As we dey watch and gree say na for training dem work on dis new formation, e clear say Crewe don balance body. Dem dey move like dem get imposition, touching the ball as if na sweet-candy.
People dey wonder, wetin be the fate of Harrogate? E go fit turn around this ball game? If dem no act fast, dem fit face bench under the league table.
This match e no just be 90 minutes of ball. Na war of strategy, guts and ‘who fit settle dem head pass’, and ibi all these activities we go dey watch with eye open like young pikin wey wan receive biscuit.
