chance chances difficult fancy goal major nick result storm weather win
We had a chance to win it at the end and 1-0 would have been a major result for us. As it is, it is going to be very difficult for us. If we can nick a goal I would fancy our chances but we will have to weather the storm for 15 to 20 minutes, as they did tonight.
