🎥⚽ Match Highlights: Catch all the action from our defeat in the Combined Counties Women's League Cup! 🌟🥅
See all the highlights from our 27th November cup tie at home to Sutton United. Croydon Athletic Women faced Sutton United in the second round of the Combined Counties Women's League Cup at Mayfield Stadium. Despite entering the match unbeaten at the top of the Greater London Women's Football League Division One South, Croydon Athletic succumbed to a 3-1 defeat. The match commenced with both teams vying for control. Sutton United broke the deadlock just before the half-hour mark when Hannah Baptiste delivered a free-kick that dipped under the crossbar, eluding the goalkeeper's reach. Croydon Athletic sought an immediate response, but their efforts were thwarted by Sutton's resolute defence. Early in the second half, Sutton United doubled their advantage. Illana Harris-Walters received a pass from Jaz Backhurst and placed a precise shot into the far corner. Moments later, misfortune struck Croydon Athletic as a defender inadvertently diverted Emma Spear's corner into their own net, extending Sutton's lead to 3-0. Demonstrating resilience, Croydon Athletic pulled a goal back during a goalmouth scramble following a right-wing cross. However, despite their persistent efforts, they were unable to further reduce the deficit. This result sees Sutton United advance to the third round of the Combined Counties League Cup, while Croydon Athletic Women will look to rebound in their upcoming league fixtures.
