LAVAL – PRAYING ON A HAIL MARY
05 Feb

Some wins you just can’t script. You can only brag – and praise the glories of the Lord above.

“When we were tied 5-5 with less than five minutes to go, I remember thinking ‘how would Tebow react right now?’" explains Emanuele Marabella with the captivating blow by blow of the eventual game winner that capped FDA Standa’s unanswered four-goal comeback win against The Replacements.

“Then from a long ball from our own zone, I shielded the ball down at centre field, turned and fed Anthony Ledonne on the right about ten yards from the net. Anticipating the rush, Ledonne gave me a perfect through ball on the floor from the right side and I open-footed it past the right side as the goalie was striding left.”

POTG: “No one ever got discouraged. The winning goal aside, this game was won from a solid defensive performance, clutch finishing from the strikers and robbery from our goalie Flavio.”
