SECOND HALF
Fletcher’s team felt optimistic about their performance at half-time, eager to take control of the match. However, this eagerness made it difficult for them to maintain composure after the break, yet United soon came closer to scoring than they had all afternoon.
An attempt to deliver another cross into the box created a chance, but unfortunately, it was a Blackburn defender who ended up making contact, sending the ball high into the air and onto the crossbar. This incident seemed to encapsulate the challenges the young Reds faced throughout the day.
Despite the setbacks, the team continued to press forward as the match progressed, fueled by a determination to return to winning form following two consecutive defeats.
In a desperate effort to change the outcome, Ngwashi, who was already on a yellow card, surged forward in the seventh minute of stoppage time. In an unfortunate turn of events, while attempting to score from the goalline, he accidentally collided with the Rovers goalkeeper and received a second yellow card. The full-time whistle sounded soon after.
