He said they told the boys to attack because if they go in to defend, Kingston will score.
“Our aim was to keep them in their half and pressure them until we get a breakthrough.”
Boois said the first goal put pressure on Kingston and made them attack the City goal, which opened up space in Kingston’s defense and allowed City to score.
