First Half: The match began with a fairly even contest, both teams probing for openings. However, it was Hashtag who broke the deadlock in the 21st minute when Freda Ayisi found the net with a well-placed finish after a slick move down the right. Gwalia fought back valiantly, with Casi Gregson causing problems for the Hashtag defense throughout the half. Despite a few promising attacks, including a saved shot from Grace Gillard, the Welsh side went into halftime trailing 1-0 but very much in contention.
Second Half: The second half saw Gwalia push for an equalizer, and their efforts paid off in the 65th minute. A brilliant ball from Elena Cole set up Cori Williams Mills, who executed an exquisite reverse chip to level the score, sending the travelling supporters into raptures.
However, just five minutes later, the game took a turn as Freda Ayisi struck again, this time from the edge of the box, stunning the Gwalia defense and restoring Hashtag’s lead at 2-1. The young Welsh side continued to battle, creating opportunities, including a fantastic save from Laura Corner to deny Sammy Rowland late in the game.
Despite a late corner for Gwalia that came to nothing, the team’s performance was commendable, highlighting their potential as they look to build on this display in upcoming fixtures. As the final whistle blew, Hashtag celebrated their hard-fought win, but Gwalia can take heart from their efforts and will look to bounce back in their next match.
