we went 3-0 up in 15 minutes and i thought wow surely that’s us winning the game. ashley sanchez stay goated and evelyn ijeh has been doing huge things. then nothing really happened for the rest of the first half and i thought yeah sweet we’ve won. half time came around and i started thinking to myself omg we’ve done it we’ve beaten spirit. then the second half started and we conceded just as early as we scored in the first half and i thought oh this could get rocky then just 3 minutes later cantore got a second for spirit and i thought oh shit this is gonna be close. then in the 90th minute bernal has the audacity to score a last minute equaliser and my morale was completely down and i thought yeah we’re gonna get a draw aren’t we after dominating the whole game. then stoppage time came along and we nearly conceded a 4th goal in the second half and i thought omg there’s a chance we could even lose here. and then in the 90+5th minute (out of 6 added) Nat Jacobs my lord, my saviour, my queen. that goal might just go down in history as the best ever nc courage goal, and this might even be deserving of going in my favourite games. overall thoughts are erica meg parkinson is changing my life. nobody will ever replace manaka but when you need someone to bring in after she’s gone, EMP is the best choice and i’m so happy she’s ours. ashley sanchez is genuinely our best player and she deserves MVP this season. evelyn ijeh has been absolutely incredible and im so so happy for her. i do think spirit had a bad game and especially a bad first half but i also think that doesn’t take anything away from from how amazingly well courage played and how deserving we were of that win. part of me wants to give potm to nat jacobs purely for just how exhilarating that goal was but if we’re being realistic nobody deserves it more than ijeh. even if we took away her goals she did so immense and helps the team perform better when she’s on the pitch. she’s incredible.
