Recap

The last game of the night saw Fitzroy take on Metropolitan as Metro looked to bounce back from last weeks embarrassing loss at the hands of Pascoeo Vale. Fitzroy on the other hand looked to make it two wins in a row for the first time this season, coming off an impressive display against Ashburton last week. Metro fielded a very undermanned squad while Fitzroy’s bench was full of talent. Fitzroy started on the front foot and were soon a goal to the good when Leonardo Correa finished the rebound after Scott Rogan’s initial shot was parried. Metro hit back soon after, however, as Dino Redzepovic found brother Alija at the back post from a corner and Alija made no mistake. Fitzroy hit the lead again through Rogan as his shot from just outside the area found the bottom left corner. Neither side could carve out another goal for the remainder of the half as we headed into the break at 2-1 to men in yellow.

The second half saw Fitzroy really start step it up and their pressure on the on the Metro goal was eventually rewarded when Jimmy Soufis finsihed from inside the area on the second time of asking, after his initial shot was blocked. Being two goals to the good seemed to result in Fitzroy completely taking their foot off the gas, and this allowed Metro back into the game. Alija Redzepovic was allowed to practically walk down the left side and into the area before he was tackled, and the loose ball fell straight to Dino Redzepovic who finished into the bottom right corner. Minutes later Fitzroy switched off again at the back and Dino Redzepovic was once again left with a simple finish into an empty net. Letting a two goal lead slip finally sparked Fitzroy into action and they quickly responded, as Rogan took he ball down the left before squaring it to Cosimo Russo who flicked it home. The Roys would hold on for a nervy final few minutes to wrap up their second win in as many games for the first time this season.
