After last weeks disappointing result, Mickleover came into this game with confidence and positivity. Sports manager John McGrath put out a good 4-4-2 formation with Lewis King in goal. The back four consisted of Durrell Berry, Pablo Mills, Ben Turner and new Sports signing Ryan Cresswell. The midfield consisted of Karel Tvaroh, Ricky Ravenhill, Jake Scott and Tomas Junek. The two front strikers consisted of Evan Garnett and Sports new signing Levi Amantchi. The bench consisted of Will Norcross, Mason Warren, Kyle Carey, Jimmy Phillips and Adam Prusa.

Karel Tvaroh took the corner and nearly met the head of Pablo Mills, but he could not quite reach it and went out for a throw in on the far side.

Four minutes later and another huge chance came for Sports after a great tackle by Ryan Cresswell who set Evan Garnett away down the left. Evan cut inside but his shot was scuffed wide of the left-hand side of the post. Another four minutes later and once again Evan Garnett had another chance for Sports to score but his strike was saved by Boro’s keeper Tommy Taylor and then Boro had the chance to score by Boro’s Luke Lofts, but his shot was curled wide of the right-hand post.

On the 30th minute, chance came for Sports. Karel Tvaroh had a massive chance with an outstanding run to the box and a terrific strike, but Tommy Taylor does well to keep it out and Sports were awarded the corner.

Levi Amantchi stepped up and shot the ball past Boro keeper Tommy Taylor to give Sports the all-important lead. Three minutes later and another goal for Sports. Levi Amantchi once again with another debut goal. Jake Scott cut it back from the left and Levi Amantchi struck it past Tommy Taylor into the net.

On the 83rd minute, a last opportunity since full time came for Sports with a corner kick ball sent to Pablo Mills but nearly deflected in for an own goal but Lewis King managed to grab it and thrown out of the Boro area.
