Did you two watch the game on Boxing Day? Watch these highlights from 2:55 and you'll see three really good balls from Chicksen. The first forces their defender to kick the ball against his own goalkeeper's head (who knew nothing about it), the other two pick out Ruben and Castro in good shooting positions.

Have a look, and tell me if you stand by your comments:

😂 funny how your mind remembers what it wants to sometimes. I stand corrected, they were some great balls from Chicksen which should have been converted.

It shows how involved he must’ve been because I’m sure I recall another two or three balls across which went straight to the first defender!

Full respect TSANHO, at least you had the guts to admit you got it wrong on this one.

I'm sure there were some crosses that went to the first defender, but he also put some really good balls in. I've watched it several times, and still feel cheated that the first cross didn't result in a goal. Chicksen couldn't have done anything more, he put the ball into what in cricket would be described as the 'corridor of uncertainty', which forced the keeper to commit, and I'm sure it's exactly what the coaching staff would want him to do. It would have resulted in an own goal 98% of the time, but on this occasion a goalbound clearance from their defender happened to hit his own keeper who was way out of position!
