The game started off quite even with a lot of the play being done in the middle of the pitch and neither team being able the chances in the final third.

Phoenix wanted to get off to a strong start in the second half but it was Old Loughts that had a spell of pressure resulting in a short corner, which they put away in the far corner. For a long time the game remained quite even but a tatical switch saw Phoenix break against the Old Loughts defence.
