Saders very kickable penalty.

Very fast flowing game, struggling to keep up with all the flow of play in the comments, as well as scoring ect… is it because it’s so fast or that it’s early morning… hehehe

Kick hits the upright, bounces away, but Saders have the ball again

Saders very, very close, ball over the line, held up.
