Jeanfield required to win this game by a minimum of 2 goals to qualify for the next phase of the league cup.
On the 8th minute St.Johns took the lead when their midfielder found space on the edge of the box and had time to pick his spot. 6 minutes later the Swifts got the equaliser when D.Newlands shot was saved and landed at the feet of B.Carle who doesn't miss from 2 yards out. Moments before the halftime whistle a ball over the top put A.Abboud through on goal. He slipped in D.Newlands who scored. Unfortunately the ref deemed the pass as a forward pass and offside. St.Johns took the freekick and against the run of play made it 2-1.
The second half kicked off and Jeanfield needed 3 goals. Unfortunately for them it was St.Johns who scored another 2 to kill off the chance of qualifying.
