Game NotesAfter 5 knockout competition games Borough’s return to League action was not an auspicious occasion. Borough marginally had the edge in the first half but failed to make the most of their chances and it was only due to a full back that they had a lead at half time with Cedric Lakole’s presence on the near post proving vital when the visiting ‘keeper fumbled a corner from the left after 29 minutes and Lakole bundled it over the line via head and shoulder. Anthony McDonald seemed certain to double the lead as he cut in from the left but tripped over his own feet at the crucial moment. The Romanians were powerful challengers and quick to close down and contest every 50/50 ball and there was no shortage of crunching tackles and yellow cards with the game no place for faint-hearts. Possession was shared in the first half in which the visitors shooting never matched their dangerous approach play and Borough ‘keeper Ashley Harris was never severely tested. After the interval Borough fell away somewhat and Romania seized the initiative as the half wore on and their 67th minute equaliser from Sorin Bugiu’s hard low shot was no great surprise. And they took the lead six minutes later when substitute George Marin lofted a dipping shot from the right from some 25 yards out on the right over Harris and into the far top corner. This reverse did spur Borough into showing greater urgency but with Romania defending with relentless determination in numbers no gilt edged chances were created in open play. A corner led to a massive goalmouth scramble which was eventually hooked clear and the best of Borough’s other chances was from a free kick in a central position a yard or so outside the area which was wasted.
