Match Report
Leverstock Green’s three-game unbeaten run ended with a 4-0 defeat away to Thame United on Tuesday night. The damage was mostly done during a ten minute spell towards the end of the first half when three goals were scored.
Alfie Bonfield had to make a save within the opening 20 seconds of the game as Brayden Daniel burst through straight from the kick-off, and made another save in the 18th minute to turn a shot from Jefferson Louis round the post.
Leverstock were holding their own in the game until the 32nd minute when the ball was given away in their own half. Dan West picked up the ball and played a one-two with Daniel before firing home a low shot from the edge of the box for the opening goal.
There was almost an instant response from Leverstock. Jamie Breen got free down the left and crossed for Guiseppe Delgaudio. Thame keeper Matt Crowther got a hand to Delgaudio’s shot, but it would still have gone in but for a goalline clearance from a defender. Instead of being level, Leverstock found themselves two goals down in the 36th minute as the ball was given away again and the mistake was swiftly punished as Daniel ran straight through the Green defence to slot home the second goal. Three minutes later West headed home at the far post from a corner to put the home side three goals up.
Leverstock needed an early goal in the second half to have a chance, but instead it was Thame who got the early goal as a ball over the top put Daniel clean through and onside to slot home the fourth goal in the 47th minute.
That ended the game as a contest, and the second half was largely a non-event as Thame made a triple substitution in the 63rd minute, withdrawing all their forwards. Leverstock brought on all their young substitutes during the second half, and it was an improved performance, but there were no further serious chances for either side.
