Match Report: Seaford FC 1-1 Glenville
LSL Major 1
Seaford showed their bottle to fight back with ten men and snatch an injury-time equaliser, and might even have grabbed all three points in the dramatic finale.
The boggy surface didn’t facilitate slick football but Seaford had the better of the early exchanges, with Peter Bardon slipping Matteo la Placa in on goal, only for the Italian to slip the ball just past the post.
Jack Keegan headed just over from Paul Tansey’s corner as Seaford turned the screw but it was the visitors who broke the deadlock on 29 minutes as Keane McInerney headed home a right-wing cross.
The Penguins fought back after half time, with Dan Keegan seeing an effort cleared off the goalline, but they were left with a mountain to climb after Bardon got his marching orders for a second yellow.
Only Tansey’s sensational saving tackle to deny Eoin McCann kept the visitors within reach, but the hosts finsihed stongly, with Elridge Valois testing Brendan Ruddy with a sensational strike from distance.
And just as he did in the same fixture during the previous season - it was Ryan Scollard who headed home in stoppage time, finding the top corner after great play down the right from Darragh Roche.
Remarkably, moments after the restart, there was another glorious chance for Scollard to complete the turnaround, but for once he fired off target and the spoils were shared
