Turning Point:

  • With 15 minutes remaining, Malachi Mullings latched onto a headed clearance from a Mala Vida defender following a corner
  • Malachi struck a powerful volley underneath the crossbar, giving the goalkeeper absolutely no chance and bringing the game level at 1-1
  • Just five minutes later, Will stood over a dangerous free kick after already scoring one against Hillside a fortnight earlier
  • His effort was struck well and forced the Mala Vida goalkeeper into a save, but the ball fell straight into the path of Malachi Mullings who reacted quickest to tap home and make it 2-1 completely against the run of play
