MATCH REPORT - Truro City 1 Concord Rangers 2 - 18/02/2017

It was a positive start from Truro City in what was our first home game since early January with Rocky Neal looking particularly lively and asking questions of the visitors’ back-line.
After we had rattled the woodwork from a free-kick the opening goal eventually arrived on quarter-hour mark as Tyler Harvey opening his scoring account for the club.
It was a deserved lead but we were pegged back just before the half-hour when Della-Verde guided the ball home to make it 1-1.
Worse was to follow five minutes from the break when a strike rebounded into the path of Crawley who made no mistake.
Going into the second period behind, Lee Hodges’ side looked to hit back straight away when the action resumed as Riley-Lowe was unlucky with an effort from distance.
We were seeing plenty of the ball as the half went on and it looked as though we had levelled matters when a free-kick was spilled by the opposition ‘keeper and Neal was alert to despatch the rebound only for his celebrations to be halted by an offside flag.
It was cruel luck on a hard-working City outfit who deserved something from the game but in the end we had no points to show for our efforts.
