CB Hounslow vs Indian Gymkhana (1-5)

The game started off steadily with both teams having enough time on the ball. As the game progressed so did Indian Gymkhana as they started to control the game with a couple of good chances. The midfield started enjoying playing with some good skills and the strikers had some joy in front of the goal. The CB Hounslow's defence looked nervous and before they knew it, Indian Gymkhana put two goals in quick succession past CB Hounslow. This lead to CB Hounslow giving up possession in the middle which meant the players had to work harder to win the ball back but they still couldn't stop the wingers from getting crosses in which lead to another two goals. Thirty minutes gone and the score was 4-0 Indian Gymkhana which lead to a tactical change from the manager of CB Hounslow who replaced the young left back with an experienced player. This was a critical move as CB Hounslow had a better shape and started attacking from the defence which lead to the last 10 minutes of the first half with CB Hounslow having a couple of chances.
The second half started the same as the first but CB Hounslow looked more composed with and without the ball, but soon into the second half another change was made replacing the right midfielder who looked out of sort. The player that was brought on went into the middle which meant one of the players went on the right and soon after Indian Gymkhana looked on the back foot. Even though CB Hounslow had a lot more command on the game they didn't trouble the keeper, and they were penalised for this as Indian Gymkhana produced a really good move and caught some of the CB Hounslow players 'napping' to score the fifth goal. As soon CB Hounslow kicked off they looked more dangerous with ball and enjoyed more possession which eventually paid off as they scored with a ball over the defence. The third substitution came near to the end as CB Hounslow were looking for more creativity and pace but the player didn't have much time to have an effect on the game.
To summarise the game Indian Gymkhana were all over CB Hounslow in the first half but in the second half, it looked like another team had turned up for CB Hounslow but the damage was done in the first half by Indian Gymkhana. Let's see what team turns up in the next game for CB Hounslow.
