Hackney Wick FC got back to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over FC Baresi, just a week after their previous draw. Despite the win, Hackney made hard work of it, having to come from behind early on.
FC Baresi took the lead within minutes, as their striker broke through the defense and slotted calmly past the keeper. Moments earlier, Hackney had a golden chance to go ahead, but Leo Pola missed an open goal at the back post. Pola then rattled the crossbar with a powerful header, adding to Hackney’s frustration.
However, Pola soon made amends, smashing in from close range to level the score before the break. In the second half, Pola struck again, finishing clinically to secure the win for Hackney Wick.
With this victory, the Wickers stay top of the table, though other teams are close behind, keeping the pressure on. Hackney will look to build on this momentum as they prepare to visit Dunmow Town this weekend.
Final Score: Hackney Wick FC 2 - 1 FC Baresi
