Decatur, GA - It was a rough 1st half from Buckhead as they found themselves down 4-0 going into halftime. The damage started early as Peachtree got on the board within the first five minutes thanks to a mistouch on the back line. Not too long after, Peachtree struck again with a rocket from a tight angle inside the box. An own goal and a brilliant set piece strike added to the Peachtree lead before halftime.
Despite the score, Buckhead SC showed some fight, winning the second half 1-0 even after going a man down. A beautiful lob from outside the top of the box cut into Peachtrees lead but it wasn’t enough as Buckhead fell 4-1.
Buckhead head coach Jay Lansdaal spoke about the differences in halves post match, “We had an unfortunate start to the game with nerves, an early injury, and an unfortunate red card making it hard to play our game. The team showed great resiliency the second half, and even with a man down kept Peachtree in their own half, and got us a goal back.” said Lansdaal.
The next home game for Buckhead SC is October 5th against Bel Calcio FC.
