56' - Great ball from Tumeth up to Pante on the right. Pante crosses and finds Abdu.

Hard shot, but it's just over the crossbar.

HT Thoughts:
- Solid opening 30' for #VanRiseFC
- Roses grew into the match, but Bennett largely isolated
- Bout-Longhurst in midfield working again
- Pante finding great space down the left
- Good showing in 1st start for Swaby
- Still a game to win here

45' - 🟨 - Okamoto.

#VanRiseFC

44' - 🟨 - Bout.

17' - First shot on target for #VanRiseFC, a decent chance from De Filippo.

16' - Confusion in the box as Wulf is unable to handle a ball coming in high.

Shot eventually goes off the post.

#VanRiseFC

15' in and #VanRiseFC have control on this match so far. 6 shots. Nothing on target yet, but they've looked dangerous.

No shots for Montreal so far.

7' - Amazing turn and pass by De Filippo to find Pante streaking down the right channel.

Great run as well. The shot is blocked but continues on, just missing the far post.

#VanRiseFC

3' - Good cross from Pante by the corner flag. Finds De Filippo in the box, but the header is high.

#VanRiseFC

1' - Missed communication as De Filippo and Abdu both go for the same well-placed cross near the penalty spot.

Both are alright.

#VanRiseFC

Game on!
