[Applause] Hallelujah. [Applause] this afternoon. [Applause] Rodale currently lead the pack, but these two are the prime chasers. Who will take the points as they look to reel in Rodale [Applause] who currently sit above them. [Music] It’s a Saturday night under the lights. here in the National League. Both teams will be very aware of results, very aware how tight is getting at the top. So, this is what adds more to these later games at this time, knowing what you have to do. Well, let’s take a look at the team news and Mars made three changes to the side that lost to Stumble United last time out in the league. Josh Grant, Josh Williams, and Chris Con who makes his national league debut after joining him from Peterbr all coming to the side. Ellis Wern and Lua all missed out. Lamba has a concussion. Rean Lenny has nine goals already this season. As for Forest Green Rovers, Robbie Savage makes four changes from the defeat to Rodale last time out in the league. Tami Babalola who was only signed yesterday from Worththing who Forest Green beat in the FA Cup makes his debut from the start. Neil Kangi, Jaden Clark and Harvey Bunker who makes his first league start of the season all come in. Trey Peterson is suspended due to the totting up of yellow cards. Kairo Mitchell is injured. More Taylor and Deuts dropped to the substitutes. David, you’ve been taking a look at two key players and you’ve chosen both goalkeepers starting with Gate Breeze. Yeah, I thought I’d keep the goalkeeper union going. Um, if you look at the the sheets, the clean sheets that they’ve got, they both got seven. One has conceded more goals. So, I think when you look at both teams and the wins, losses, and draws, it’s going to be an open game, fast and furious, and I think they’ll become very valuable for each team. and the three points or one point whichever way it goes. Yeah, Luke Mc Nicholas also seven clean sheets this season and they are coming up against some of the most potent attacking teams in the division. I mentioned Rean Linny has nine goals already for Carlilele. Tami Babalola has eight goals in 14 this season for Worththing. But how will he make the step up to the national league? really well and these are the set were talking about big team if you look as the camp goes in on the on the box with Kal now playing a zorno which a lot of teams tend to do now but is it the best way against a a very big side in Mendy the two central defenders both have made their way up into the penalty area in towards the near post and it was knocked on and the chance fell to Babalola. Somehow it stayed out. Yeah, they’re they’re awkward ones then just the bounce in front. Skinny pitch. It’s been watered since about 3:00 since we got here. Um they’re not the easiest ones but the serve it is. It’s a good strike by Tom Noles. He’s on the attack. [Applause] Opportunity for Williams. Clark Ly finds the bottom corner. Rey. He is on fire for Car United and take all of the campaign and against the run of play. It is the host that have the lead. We were saying about all the pressure that forest green had a breakaway. The pitch looks so big. We only have four players up and they get a shot. But four players against what? Five. Six now for his three players. Managed to get a shot through there. I don’t know if he’s neglected cuz keeper seems to be going the other way. Oh, maybe blindsided by um Ryan Inis there. It may be a deflection. I think it took the slightest of touches off the defender. The skipper who’s making his 100th Forest Roma’s appearance tonight. Here’s Linny the goal scorer. Kelly, excellent save by McNicholas. Still the danger not fully clear. Whitwell with a good challenge. He hits it long. Harper. Oh, he’s beaten to the ball. This is a big chance if the pass is right. Claw and it’s snuck in. Jam gets the equalizer. Gabriel Breeze will not be happy and that’s not past him. Robbie Savage and Boris Green Romero are delighted though. It’s 1-1 after 25 minutes. Yeah, you’ve got from an unbelievable save at one end to literally the next 3 seconds they’re in their in their box. When when he actually passed this one across here, I thought he had gone. Nothing you can do there as a keeper. He’s turned. It’s gone through legs actually. So again, mentioned at the top goalkeeper union, but what a save and they’ve gone one all and it changes the tide again. And what a game so far. Here’s Raininess Mendy. I think allow just need to get in Halime. Rethink. Anyone who’s watched Forest Green Rover’s decision, this possession is given away cheaply. And this is a big chance to go. Who reestablish their lead? You cannot afford to give him that sort of chance because he’ll make no mistake. Another quality finish from Rean Ly this season. And again, it’s against the rule of play. David, I think you just heard exactly what I said that they need to get in a hard time and rethink to do that. But again, it’s all from the making of how Forest Green are building up. They lose it. Counter attack. It’s not even a counter attack cuz he’s right on top of the It’s a great finish, but if that’s going to be how you play, they make the most of it every time. And there is the half time whistle. A double from Rean Linny means Caral United have the advantage. And Linny has responded by getting a brace here tonight. So both on 11 goals so far in the National League. We were saying in the in the halftime talk that the front four that they have, you must be so happy as a defender like this. He goes up to him, keeps the ball, creates opportunities like that to get off the pitch, breathe in front of defense. Good work by Kelly. And Mendy becomes the first player in this second half to go into the referee’s notebook. It’s an ambitious ball forward, but it’s not a good header by Harper. Here’s Bayabu. Harper makes the block. And it’s stopped in. Oh, just wide by Bunker. Oh, was that in? It wasn’t. No way. It came back out. Definitely in for a moment there was hesitation. The the top again takes it really quick. The keeper can’t set. It’s actually a really good finish but again far too easy. You watch here too. Just going to have a little look at this again. Clearly in. He was stunned silence around here. Spoilers shared at the moment here at Bruntton Park. You wouldn’t like to say it’s going to stay like this, would you? Especially when that happens. That was a cynical challenge. [Applause] And remember already been in the yellow car. He showed a second yellow and a red and you called it David Stockdale. You said the chances of both teams finishing with 11 players is pretty low. Well, Forest Green Roma are reduced to 10. It does bring a lot more to the team than than just goals. [Music] He kind of takes away defenders because they’re so worried about him that Con Clark Linny I know it’s the first games but things like this can happen. Good ball to pick out Williams who comes away with Kardashian Williams and it’s pulled back Ellis with the chance. Big opportunity for Jack Ellis. [Applause] Well, all United trying to turn the screw. Oh, fired over. [Music] Here’s Linny. Just run out of room. Lady again rolls it across. Winning goal surely for Car United puts it into the bottom corner. out of nowhere again. What a super finish. And they make the pressure finally pay. It didn’t feel like it was coming at all. Again, Linn makes it work. It’s actually unbelievable finish. The ball coming across his body on his right foot. Just watching here. It’s so hard. He’s cut away. He’s opened his insole. How many Kleums have scored? That’s the start for you cuz there’s one of them. It’s a brilliant goal by Harvey McAndam. Well, a minimum of seven to be played. Seven minutes for forest green robes to try and find an equalizer. They already put Ryan in his sub. Surely that was a back in the box. It was silly. And despite the protagon Yeah, he he will argue that he’s doing it the other way, but he has got his shirt. He has got more Taylor’s shirt, but it’s one of them where does he let go the the moment the ref’s turning to see the ball. Well, this goal would be the uh icing on top of the birthday cake. Maybe it’s the candles being blown out for Robbie Savage because this will seal the victory. It’s George Kelly from the spot and he steers it home. Mark Hugh celebrates United have three valuable points. Green Rover is looking to find another goal here in surely offside. He is plenty of missiles and there’s the one back. Car United get an important victory against one of their promotion rivals as Mark Hughes takes the Welsh Raggy rights over Broadbe Savage.
