Half
Time: Canvey Island 0-1 Terrors
Canvey
continued to push forward and soon carved
out their first serious chance, a bullet
header that Rob King planted a long way wide
of the target. Craig Pitterson, a half
time replacement for Clayton, then forced
Russell into his first serious save with a
powerful shot from the edge of the area,
having been cleverly picked out by the
wheezing and soon to depart McLeod.
Aaron Goode then came close with a header
from the resulting corner.
For the
second time in a week Tooting were undone by
a spectacular goal when, on the hour,
the previously anonymous Fanibuyan was
allowed to take the ball to the edge of the
area before unleashing a fine shot that left
Dave King rooted to the spot.
The
equaliser spurred Tooting to greater
adventure. Aaron Goode came close with
a dipping shot and then had a reasonable
penalty shout turned down when he was
bundled off a ball supplied by substitute
Harusha, whose arrival had given the
attack a new dimension.
Into the
final frantic five minutes and a Paul Vines
volley was deflected for a corner before
both he and Harusha got behind the home
defence for the final golden chance.
The Albanian elected to chip the keeper, but
his rapidly dipping effort only dropped as
low as the crossbar - could the red ball
have been at least partly responsible?
Worse was to follow as Canvey attacked down
the right from the resulting goal kick.
The cross found Halle, whose header somehow
squeezed beneath Dave King for the winner.
