Facchineri having a nightmare.  Sukunda to sub for him at the half?

HFX have completed dominated since the 20'.

The lucky goal off the corner really changed the game.

Yup. Facchineri has been a good CB, but he is lost at RB, or RCB or whatever you want to call it.

That said, Sukunda has looked bad every time he's been on the pitch this season. Not sure he'd be that much better.

Best of 2 poor options -- at least he is not on a yellow.

Verhoeven needs to come off. 

Was he even out there? Don't think I heard his name once during first half play.

He made one good pass about 5 minutes in. But this is what he is.

52' penalty called for a hand on chantzopoulos...nimick converts again 3-1 54'

[jonovision]

Valour do deserve to be down 3-1, but that's the second penalty that would have been waved off with VAR.

* phantom hand ball

[jonovision]

Should be yellow for Telfer 

[Big_M]

🟨 viscosi before the penalty

[jonovision]

Good job, take off your only good attacking player.

[Big_M]

59' mlah kwemi sukunda in faria chantzopoulos swibel out...poor l1 guys asked to turn it around...they return where they eliminated hfx with st laurent

[Big_M]

60' fernandez in ferrazzo out

[Big_M]

70' dias bayiha in probo daniels out

[jonovision]

This is absolutely laughable. Not even close to a PK. You can't get called for a pen with the ball in yuor hands.

71' stasolla gives another penalty!! what a ref!! in some leagues the coach would want to pull out the team

[Big_M]

72' viscosi saves! his first penalty miss...giving a penalty to the same guy three times in the same game is maybe not a great idea

[jonovision]

How did Nimick not get carded for that elbow to Ohin?

[jonovision]

This might be the lowest moment in the history of this team.

Wait, Verhoeven suspended next match? Not all bad!

Unfortunately not even close

Verhoeven suspended for the next game 👍

[Big_M]

82' 🟨 verhoeven...out for the next one which is not necessarily a bad thing for valour

I disagree, if only because the other low points had some good moments before and after. This is a nadir I didn't think it was possible to reach, because Valour are already in the midst of their worst ever season.

[Big_M]

84' haynes in antonoglou out...fourth penalty coming??

[Big_M]

86' alphonse vasconcelos in lapare telfer out

[jonovision]

A few more performances like this and I have a hard time imaginging Valour continuing to exist beyond this season.
