Second-Half Surge Sees Jeanfield Swifts Power Past Kettins in Presidents Cup Opener

Jeanfield travelled to Kettins for their opening match in the Presidents Cup group stage.

The Swifts made an immediate impact, taking just 48 seconds to open the scoring. A ball was played out to B. Calderwood, whose low cross found K. Mitchell in the middle of the goal. His first-time finish left the goalkeeper with no chance.
Jeanfield looked set to dominate early on, but in the 18th minute, a needless free-kick allowed Kettins to equalise, the resulting shot finding the bottom corner.
Just four minutes later, Kettins took the lead. Jeanfield failed to clear their lines and didn’t pick up their men tightly enough, allowing a cross into the box which their striker converted from close range.

Despite pressing for the remainder of the half, Jeanfield couldn't find an equaliser.

After a strong team talk and a substitution at the break, the Swifts came out with renewed energy. Within two minutes, they levelled the score. A. Abboud drove down the line and delivered a low cross, with K. Brown smashing the ball into the net.
Jeanfield continued to push for a winner, and as Kettins began to tire, gaps started to open up. However, a series of missed chances kept the game level.

The breakthrough finally came in the 71st minute when a B. Potter corner was bundled over the line by A. Abboud, giving Jeanfield a deserved lead.
The Swifts sealed the win in the 80th minute from another B. Potter corner. K. Sime volleyed at the back post, and K. Brown managed to get the final touch to claim his second goal of the game, with K. Sime credited with the assist.

Jeanfield created further chances late on but were guilty of wasting several good opportunities.
