From the opening whistle at Trinity Fields, it was a tightly contested affair, with both sides creating opportunities, but neither able to find a breakthrough before the halftime whistle. The teams headed into the break with the score still locked at 0-0.
The second half continued in a similar fashion, with both teams fighting for control. However, Lewisham eventually broke the deadlock, ending Julian’s impressive run of back-to-back clean sheets.
Despite the setback, Julian’s were determined to respond. With just five minutes remaining, Ivy sprinted onto a well-placed through ball and, facing the goalkeeper one-on-one, kept her cool to slot the ball confidently into the net.
The final minutes were tense, and in the end, a draw felt like a fair outcome for both teams after a spirited contest.
