Cardiff Metropolitan defeated Aberystwyth Town 3-0 at Cyncoed Campus in the Welsh Premier Women’s League.
Below are the talking points from the match:
Chavez masterclass
Elianna Chavez caused danger throughout against Aberystwyth as she was attacking the defensive line of the Seasiders with her skills and pace.
If any creative output was going to take place it would be from Elianna Chavez and it was showed by the goal she scored as she collected the ball and slotted it home past Ffion Ashman to open the scoring.
Fairly Contested Second half
After conceding two goals in the first half with a lack of creation of opportunities , Aberystwyth created more opportunities in the second than the first.
The Seasiders pressured the Met defence with Eloise Jenkins and Charlotte Chalmers pressuring the defence back.
Despite the defensive work in the second half a late goal was conceded in the closing stages from an Erin Murray header.
It was a great defensive play in the second half overall.
Eloise Jenkins creating the chances
If any creative opportunities were going to take place it would be from her . She intercepted the play along with pressing down the flank.
Eloise Jenkins delivered a chance for Niamh Duggan but the shot was to go to waste .
Met Win Again
Dr Kerry Harris’ side won again as they try to keep up with the pace of Swansea City , A somewhat comfortable display from the side’s makes sure the sides form continues.
The goals coming from Elianna Chavez , Stephanie Turner and Erin Murray brought all three points for the home side.
Following the win against Abergavenny last week and the win against Aberystwyth they’re still breathing down Swansea City Ladies’ necks.
