With the opening of the second half Marconi came out with
renewed intensity and made many forceful efforts to push the
play into the White Eagles zone. The team in red appeared
prepared for exactly this as they pumped up their transition
game in return.
At 48 minutes in it was again Kagoma # 16 posting a marker
on a high shot that went nearly right over the keeper and
into the net from fairly close range. Marconi did in no way
give up, in fact they kept on attacking as they had done
through most of the game, however White Eagles midfielders
and defensive corps proved to be just too much of a
challenge.
At 57 minutes tempers flared and a White Eagles player was
ejected from the game. At this point Marconi seemed to
still believe that they had a chance. Much of the same type
of play ensued, with the White Eagles cautiously defending
their lead while playing a man down. Through the midsection
of the half Marconi finally began to get some quality shots
on goal, but the closest they would come would be a hard
curving shot of the left post at 78 minutes.
At both 81 minutes and 87 minutes it was the White Eagle's
Mark Magier #13 scoring again, one on a soft shot that took
advantage of another defensive breakdown and another on a
well-placed kick into the middle of the net from just
outside the penalty box on the right side. The game would
end just a few minutes later with a score of 6-0 favouring
the White Eagles, who with this win rose to fourth place
with 24 points in the Premier Division standings. JHS
