Holywell and Trefelin share points in goalless affair
Holywell played Trefelin in the Premier League regular season on Friday evening and the match ended 1-1. By then we'd given the home side a 47 per cent chance of winning, but the game took a different path. And here's the thing — you can watch a whole match and still only remember one moment.
L. Phillips opened the scoring for the hosts in the 61st minute before H. Morris equalised for Trefelin in the 82nd. A yellow card came for the home side in the 48th minute, and both managers made changes in the final quarter. L. Phillips was substituted in the 67th minute, J. Sconce and J. Reed followed in the 72nd and 73rd, then R. Piper and F. Yonsian came on at the end.
Holywell had 43 per cent possession and 78 attacks, while Trefelin managed 57 per cent and 82 attacks. Both teams registered five shots on target and six off target. To be fair, the statistics don't tell you much about a game decided by three or four moments rather than sustained pressure.
What the result means on the table is straightforward. Holywell remain bottom with zero points from six games, while Trefelin move to five points with their first draw of the season. The away support never stopped, even if the scoreboard stayed level.
Our prediction for a home victory didn't come off, and that's football for you. The hosts had the early edge but couldn't close the game out after their lead. Sometimes the old head on the bench settles things down when you least expect it.
