The Saints hosted last Saturday 11th November the League leader AEK London at Berkeley Fields.
The teams had met in a pre-season friendly and had a mutual respect which was reflected in a highly entertaining match full of action, battling spirit and goals. It ended 2-2.
AEK scores within 3 minutes and played some good skilful football. A second goal our AEK in control with The Saints struggling to find a rhythm.
The half time team talk must have boosted The Saints because they came out fast and furious.
The second half saw a more balanced game with The Saints stepping up a gear and attacking well. A disallowed Saints goal only fired them up even more.
Some excellent play on the wing by Igli Sevaj resulted in a great cross and firm header from Michael Frangeskou to make it 1-2.
With the wind in their sails the Saints then won a penalty. Jack Smith made it 2-2.
Both teams are still unbeaten.
Overall, an important match for The Saints. And one that means thy are keeping pace with the League and fired up with their three games in hand.
