FA Youth Cup: Chester 1-0 South Liverpool

Chester FC Under 18’s advanced in the FA Youth Cup last night with a narrow victory over South Liverpool at the Deva Stadium.

The Blues struggled to break down their opponents in the first half, with Mikey Lawson going close with a cross-shot which was tipped onto the crossbar by the goalkeeper.

Mike Allcock’s side got their goal early in the second half as Oskar Rosenblatt, who made his senior debut on the weekend, collected the ball just outside the box and rifled home a fantastic effort in front of a fantastic crowd of 271.

Chester had chances to wrap the game up but failed to take them – while at the other end a goal line clearance from Mason Duff saved an equaliser and ensured the Seals advance into the Second Qualifying Round.
