The Ammies pressed high, harried their opponents, and played with an intensity that suggested they were ready to go for the jugular.

The backline, along with the tireless midfield, put in a monumental shift, snuffing out threats and protecting our clean sheet with unwavering determination. Then came the moment that truly sealed the deal and cemented the three points.
