Citizens Lose Second Successive League Game
This is a subtitle for your new post
There was an extraordinary game between Hull United and Great Driffield AFC at Haworth Park on Saturday afternoon. It produced a remarkable total of ten goals, but resulted in the Citizens suffering a 3-7 defeat.
Charlie Wildbore, Tresor Kalilwa and Jean Claude Kalilwa got their names on the scoresheet for the Citizens. Meanwhile, Driffield’s goals were secured thanks to a Jonny Blakeston brace, efforts from Tom McDougall, Dan Taylor, Tim Taylor, Ewan Johnson and a Liam Taylor own goal.
Just a matter of seconds into the game, the visitors put themselves in front. They delivered a cross into the Citizens box which led to Liam Taylor sending a header past his own goalkeeper Harry Milner. Driffield doubled their advantage in the eighth minute when a penalty was converted.
The Citizens carved out a big chance to get themselves back into the game in the 20th minute. However, Tresor Kalilwa was unable to direct his effort on target after he was teed up by Sam Miles. Eight minutes later, the visitors gave themselves a three goal cushion. A long throw hurled into the Citizens box caused big problems for their defence and Driffield profited from it.
A few minutes before the break, Driffield grabbed a fourth goal. They managed to do so courtesy of a curled strike which clipped the inside of the post and nestled into the back of the net.
Seven minutes into the second half, the visitors extended their lead even further. Driffield produced a quick counter attacking move which culminated in the ball being slotted into the back of the net. In the 56th minute, the Citizens secured a goal through a deflected Wildbore strike. Tresor Kalilwa then pulled another goal back which made the scoreline 2-5.
Driffield struck again in the 81st minute to bag their sixth goal of the match. Straight after this, a penalty was awarded to the Citizens and duly dispatched by Jean Claude Kalilwa. The visitors proceeded to make it 3-7 in the 87th minute.
The sides face off against each other again next Saturday at Haworth Park. This’ll see them contest an East Riding Senior Cup tie which is a 2pm kick-off.
