Coastal Spirit’s famed defence lived up to its reputation, holding out Cashmere Technical for 120 minutes (first time this season they have been unable to score from open play). But in the only thing that counts, the penalties went Cashmere’s way, 3-2.
Second time as was scoreless between the two sides in round 2 of the MPL back in March.
Thanks AW, forgot about that one. Which Tech player got the red card just before the penalties?
Jordan Spain received his 2nd yellow in the 118th minute. Great cup game which I feel Coastal had the better of the chances and should have been a couple ahead at the break and then saw a another two great chances go begging late in normal time.
Both sides had half chances in extra time. Penalties was drama from start to finish with all ten spot kicks on target with keepers saving five of them plus a couple of good hands on the other before Claps stepped up to slot home Techs final one and advance 3 - 2.
Great contest and a shame that one side has to miss out.
