All over
1-0 Wednesday it ends. A good day at the office in the end - even though they had to work hard for it.
Great to see Luongo back
Luongo has been excellent since coming on at half time. He’s tackled when he’s needed to tackled, not shied away from anything despite having a bit of strapping on his knee, and his passing - especially long range - has been great.
And Wednesday lead!
You can’t say it’s not been coming. Luongo finds Green - as he’s been doing for a while now - and this time the attacker slots home calmly to find the back of the net. Wednesday lead.
Crossbar again!
A corner causes problems in the Alfreton box, and a big header cannons back off the crossbar. The woodwork thwarting the Owls again.
Wednesday pushing now
The Owls really turning the screw on Alfreton - wave after wave of attack now, however they’ve not really forced the goalkeeper into too many big saves yet.
If this continues though, you’d think it’s a matter of when - rather than if - Wednesday score.
So close! Twice!
Green was brilliantly spotted and found by Luongo with a ball over the top, and while the winger took it down beautifully, his shot was saved. He should’ve done better, probably.
Then seconds later the ball came down for Adeniran on the edge of the box, who expertly let rip with a great volley - sadly it clipped the bar and went over. Much more intensity now, much better.
Unlucky, Charles...
Hagan tries to wriggle his way through the Alfreton defence. He takes it past the keeper once, but he’s wide of the goal. The keeper gets to it after, Paterson has a shot blocked, and the danger is cleared. More impetus from the Owls.
