Good game for OGS, frustrating outcome
From coach JB : nnnnnnn
Game started on a wide but perfect PSA pitch.
First half was well balanced with both teams creating opportunities to score. Hibernians would get the opener after 5-10 minutes of intense pressing concluded by a shot, not powerful, but well targeted.
Second half would see OGS keeping most of the possession, managing to create long sequences of passing. Logically, OGS striker Fred would score the equalizer on a great header.  Hibs seemed really tired and OGS were confident to get that game and score more. However, Hibs would raise up their game for 5 minutes and put again intense pressure on OGS defense, that eventually lead to OGS keeper conceding an o.g.  2-1 hibs.
The last 25 minutes of the game would see OGS in control and camping in Hibs half, getting a lot of shots and some corner kick but failing to convert any.

Definitely a frustrating result for us, but OG seems to have recovered a team spirit and the whole game is encouraging for the future. Other satisfaction come from the defense who realized a great game, with center back Chris saving numerous hibs opportunities in the d-box.
