FC UNITED of MANCHESTER ACADEMY 'A' TEAM 4 MACCLESFIELD TOWN ACADEMY 4
FC United of Manchester’s Academy ’A’ team recorded a remarkable 4-4 home draw in their pre-season friendly against the Macclesfield Town Academy EDS on the Broadhurst Park 3G on Wednesday afternoon.
FENTON SCOTT had opened the scoring for the Young Reds after just 12 minutes when he finished a Charles Adomako pass from close in.

The visitors drew level on 18 minutes when TYLER JAMES latched on to a long clearance from his own ’keeper before placing the ball past opposite number Filimon Gezae.
Two minutes later, Macclesfield went 2-1 up when the same player, TYLER JAMES, added his second, this after the FC United net minder could only parry a shot on target moments earlier.
And on 41 minutes, it was 3-1 to the visitors when a powerful HARRY LUKATOME downwardheader from a corner bounced up and into the net via the crossbar.

Early into the second half, FENTON SCOTT pulled one back for the home side when he coolly chipped the ’keeper after being set up by Silas Itota.
And on 61 minutes, it was 3-3, when FENTON SCOTT placed a curling free kick into the top corner of the net for his hat-trick goal, the Macclesfield ’keeper deceived by the flight of the ball.
And the FC United comeback looked to be complete when a minute later JOSH MBALA steered the ball home from a Farah Lloyd pass, to edge the Young Reds back in front.
But there was still time for the visitors to add a fourth goal on 67 minutes (FARAH LLOYD o.g.) to make the final score 4-4, with the absence of any further goals in the final minutes largely due to a number of fine saves from FC United substitute ’keeper Fernando Mboke.
