Match Report - PUFC 0-3 Kings Langley; Played Saturday 13th September

Potton did not play as well as their last two league matches when they collected their first points of the season—the cause was not helped by conceding a goal in the third minute against a fast and strong Kings Langley side.

In a quick attack by Kings Langley Peterson saw his shot well saved by Sam Galatis but the ball rebounded to Collier who put the ball in the net in the 3rd minute. Kings Langley continued to press with Collier shooting wide Harvey Vegh was fouled just outside the penalty area but Jack Moriarty’s kick went over the cross bar. In the 16th minute Turner made a good run down the left before cutting in and firing an unstoppable shot into the corner of the goal. Galatis saved a header from Fitzgerald. At the other end Cole Butler made a good run before passing to Devonte Simms who fired over the bar. Towards the interval Toiny-Pendred shot wide, Collier hit the cross bar and then shot wide. HT 0-2

In a quick counter attack Collier hit the post. Potton did have a good passing movement that ended with Vegh shooting wide.
