Tough draw, bad day at the office

we drew 1-1 to the lady ninjas, Kunoichi, of Iga. Tough match as they are trying to craw out of relegation zone. They were fast and physical. Although we were able to win the initial second ball or 50-50 but because of their physicality they were able to regain possession, so the game was fast pace. Up and down. We had early chance and in normally, our National player Aya, would score, but with only goalie to beat she shanked it straight to GK. I'm not sure but see had a off day. She even kicked her corner kick out of bounds, which is rare.
So, it was up to others to pick it up, but they kept passing to her hoping for a magical touch by her, regain herself, or they just don't have confidence in themselves.
But she didn't and we struggled physically. They scored first in the second half, but we were able to equalized late to salvage the match with a point.
This game could have gone either way. Had we scored early, then who knows. But they always looked dangerous.
7 more games to go with one more rounds to play each team. Some are trying to get out of relegation zone, others are battling out for the championship, and we are pretty much in for the mid-table finish. We need to play well, and build it toward play-offs. One game at a time, with not looking ahead.
