We won a tough game on penalties. They were better technically, but we didn't give them an inch all night. They took the lead, we equalised then took the lead, then they took the lead back and we equalised with a few minutes to go. We took the lead in extra time, then the equalised but we hung on for pens. My son saved two pens in the shootout and one during the game. I am so proud of him and every one of them.
There were well over 200 supporters in the ground, and most were supporting our opponents and hostile. It was a cracking atmosphere. When we won they all went home, we probably cost the club a grand in bar takings! They had to make do with just twenty or so of us!
Actually it was 5-5 after extra time. I am drained! 0-1 to 3-1 to us, then they made it 4-3 in normal time. We equalised late on, then a goal each in extra time!
He came on in the second half. He didn't have his best game to be fair, but I think made a small difference when it was needed. What I liked was during the penalties, where players have their arms around each other as they look on, the player that complained had his arm around him. We won it as a team.

Good scoreline that.
Congratulations
I know the pressure you're under even at junior football level as i coach 2 youth teams myself. It really is a full time job albeit unpaid!
Your boy has the look of a young Dino Zoff. Not a bad look for an aspiring keeper!
