Match Report: Racing Club Warwick 2–1 Coleshill Town

First Half Highlights (Watch On YouTube https://youtu.be/bxeu5dO08YE)

Coleshill controlled the early exchanges but were unable to convert their dominance into goals.

• A series of half-chances either flew wide or were met by fine saves from the Warwick keeper, who got down quickly to deny Sweeney from close range.
• A misplaced pass led to a free kick deep in our half. The resulting cross to the near post found a Racing Club Warwick player who pounced first to nod home past a slightly wrong-footed Cameron.
• Cameron quickly redeemed himself with a superb reaction save from a point-blank effort, keeping the deficit at one as the interval approached.
• A brilliant wing run by Coyle set up Opoku, whose trick to knock the ball past Cameron left a trailing leg and earned a penalty. Opoku stepped up to dispatch the spot-kick.
• Warwick doubled their lead from the penalty spot

Second Half Highlights

The pattern remained similar after the break, but  before Coleshill rallied.

• Coleshill pressed for a response and pulled one back courtesy of a moment of magic. Ben Usher-Shipway picked up the ball in his own half, surged down the flank and played a clever back-heel to Sweeney. Sweeney returned the pass, allowing Usher-Shipway to cut inside and curl a stunning strike into the far corner.
