Southern United Football Club extended its winning streak in the Dove Women’s Summer League 2021 to four after nosing out Shirley’s Football Club-A, 2-1, last Wednesday night at the NMI Soccer Training Center in Koblerville.
Nathanette Blas and Britanny Wally fired the two goals for Southern United with the former scoring in the 16th minute and the latter eight minutes later. Shirley’s-1 countered with only one goal in the first half, courtesy of Alexa Vergara’s shot in the 29th minute and Southern United hung on to the shaky lead, as neither team found the back of the net in the second half.
With the close win, Southern United remains unbeaten in four games to keep the lead in the Premier Division.
In the other match in the same category, Kanoa dominated Shirley’s FC-B, 6-0, to move up to second place in the team standings with its 2-0-2 win-draw-loss record.
