Daf Williams expressed mixed feelings following Gloucester City’s hard-fought victory over Hartpury FC in the FA Trophy. The match ended 0-0 after regular and extra time, with Gloucester clinching the win 5-4 in a tense penalty shoot-out.
Williams acknowledged the team’s resilience but highlighted their struggles in the attacking third. “We created chances but just weren’t clinical enough in the final third,” he admitted. Despite the lack of goals in open play, Gloucester managed to hold their nerve during the shoot-out, securing their place in the next round.
The match showcased a disciplined defensive performance from both sides, but ultimately, goal-scoring opportunities were limited. Williams emphasized the importance of improving finishing as the team progresses in the competition. “We need to be sharper and more decisive upfront if we want to go further,” he said.
