In a similar type of performance to the previous week, Brazil played some very good passing football but came off second best in the result. Without a recognised goalkeeper it was always going to be a struggle to keep a clean sheet and this proved to be the case, despite some fine saves by Shaun Haigh and Simon Honeywood (who took over the custodian duties after the second goal).

Brazil did create more chances than the previous week and should really have scored. Bryan Walker, Rob Day, Ewan Paterson and Matty Bull all missed the target from fairly close range.

The highlight of the contest was a run by Mark Harrison. Haigh rolled the ball out to the lanky winger who headed off upfield round (and through) several challenges. As he got into the box, the keeper came out and just managed to block his shot.

Dave Churchley was the man of the match for the second successive match.
