city undone on pens

the local derby was fiercly contested with great physicality.
Harrier were quick out of the blocks and their game plan was to hustle and hurry the more technical City players into rushing their passing game and forcing errors, this was backed up with a fiercly vocal Harriers support in the stands.
Harriers drew first blood after a mistake in the worcester defence and the ball was tapped in from close range.
City then drew level with a looping shot just outside the area
Harrier again kept their pressure up and after the ball striking the bar the ball fell to another harriers player who prodded home.
2-1 half time
City came out with intention and intensity and were on top most of the second half and equalised after a series of corners and scored with a great header 2-2
harriers broke free of the shackles and a mistake again from the city defence allowed a cross to go in and be tapped in at the far post 3-2 harriers
City again responded with more pressure and equalised 10 mins from time wioth another great header from a corner.
City thought thay had won the game with 4 mins remaining after a strong run from the city striker who shrugged the harriers defender off the ball and finished cooly only for the referee to react to the vocal harriers crowd and disallow the goal.
The game went to the lottery of penalties and it was not to be citys day
well done harriers

City now go on to the championship play offs to contend for the league winners position

a great season overall with some great football played throughout
