Highlights incl Bevan's early 8th min pen, at a ground in windy Halifax not unlike the Hutt Rec. Bevan fair wallops it in, in a game looks like Cavalry dominated until late on
Was all about the movement on that goal - A great ball to release down the right and you see Bevan hare in towards the penalty spot. Footage cuts out at the exact moment, but Bevan jinks right and peels off the Valour CB, giving him the extra yard needed so that even a scuffed shot trickles into the back of the net.
Finished 5-1 Cavalry but very mixed game for Bevan. The early goal (pen) but then a straight red at 67 mins (4-1), alongside one of the Vancouver FC players. So that took Vancouver down to 9 men.
Highlights. Earns & converts the pen early on. But yipe in the 2nd half, with his team 4-1 up, gets physical with first a big shoulder and then a rash tackle that doesn't get near the ball. Early shower. Not very smart.
Bevan off at HT (1-0) as Cavalry blow a 2-0 lead in the 2nd half, to lose 3-2. Maybe the Cavalry coach was worried his hot headed Kiwi was going to get a 2nd yellow.
