Incredible Scenes at Aldershot Stadium as England C Demolishes Nepal – In details
In an international friendly held at the EBB Stadium in Aldershot Town, England C easily defeated Nepal 2-0.
In front of 5,560 spectators, goals in the first half from Nicke Kabamba and Callum Stead proved to be sufficient to give England the victory.
Ollie Harfield of Aldershot was named in the England C starting lineup, while Jack Barham, Tyler Frost, and Olly Scott of the Shots were relegated to the bench.
In the eighth minute, England took the lead after getting off to a fast start. Harfield set up the score with a lovely cross from the left that allowed Kabamba to round his defender at the near post and head in into the left corner of the net.
Five minutes later came the second goal. The opposing goalie, Kiran Kumar Limbu, punched Stead as Nepal attempted to clear a corner, and Stead skillfully lofted his debut volley over the stranded keeper and into the back of the net.
Nepal was finding it difficult to get out of their half as England C persisted in their attack in search of a third.
In the twenty-third minute, Johnny Goddard tried his luck, but Kumar Limbu made a great stop at his near post. A minute later, Jack Payne was the next to go close, but his 25-yard attempt struck the side netting.
Subsequently, Toby Edser forced Kumar Limbu to respond when the Nepali goalkeeper deflected his strong left-footed effort over the crossbar.
Kumar Limbu held Harfield’s left-footed effort from just outside the box with ease.
When Goddard was set up by Harfield’s corner in the 36th minute, the home team had another opportunity, but Goddard’s glanced header flew just over the bar. Two minutes later, Kabamba had another chance, but his feeble attempt was aimed directly at Kumar Limbu.
Much of the audience was cheering Nepal on, but they couldn’t muster much of an offensive in the first half as they tried to find a way back into the game.
Halftime saw one change for England C: Elliot Justham took Nathan Ashmore’s place in goal.
After the break, the home team got off to a fast start and almost took the lead 3-0 when Danny Collinge’s effort was cleared off the line.
In the afternoon, Justham saved Sanjeeb Bista’s effort with a straightforward stop, which was his first call of duty.
In the 59th minute, Goddard nearly doubled the score as he cut in from the left and forced a fine stop out of Kumar Limbu.
At the hour, England C changed their lineup four times, with Scott, Barham, Frost, and Zico Asare coming on.
In the 62nd minute, Frost had a chance to make an immediate impression on his home field, but his effort missed the mark. On minute 71, Nepal came agonizingly close to equalizing when a header struck the crossbar.
