TT Under-15s, Man City battle to 2-2 draw

TT pulled a goal back in the final minute (70th) through Justin Araujo Wilson and then grabbed the tying goal two minutes into added on time from substitute Josiah Edwards.

Manchester City’s James McAtee missed a 23rd minute penalty but his team took the lead 11 minutes later when Charlie McNeil found the target. Owen Hesketh made it 2-0 with 20 minutes to play before TT stormed back.

TT coach Russell Latapy credited his team for their late comeback but pointed out that there were aspects of his team’s play that were unsatisfactory, particularly when it came to closing down the opposition.

“I think this was a good exercise for the boys for them to understand the level they have to get to,” Latapy said.

“But must say I am just a bit disappointed in the performance as the way we have been training and the intensity, we never showed it (on Tuesday). We had a long day traveling the previous day and I don’t know if that had something to do with the way we performed. But we never really passed the ball well and we never made the angles that we normally do. We never got close enough to put pressure on them,” Latapy added.
