Colts 0-4 EK
At half-time things looked good. It was 0-0 and we were holding our own against our new town rivals, EK.
Then early in the second half Gavin Lachlan makes a challenge that the referee deemed to be a straight red.
That proved to be the game changer. As the Colts were still coming to terms with what seemed to be a harsh and unjustified red card, EK scored. For the rest of the game Colts tried to get forward and this created spaces for EK to exploit. To rub salt into our wounds the referee and linesmen failed to see a handball by an EK defender in the penalty box.
I'll tune in later to EKFC television to have a look at the incidents again but there is no doubt that the red card transformed the game. So disappointing!
