Ipswich Town U18s 2-1 West Ham United U18s
West Ham United Under-18s went down 2-1 at Ipswich Town on Saturday.
They will feel unlucky to have not taken anything from the game after hitting the woodwork twice and being denied by two outstanding saves from the Ipswich goalkeeper with the score at 0-0.
Ipswich took the lead in the 25th minute with their first attack of the game and it stayed that way until half time. In the second half Cristian Montano was denied in a one-on-one by another superb save from the Ipswich stopper. Moments later, the hosts got the killer second after the West Ham defence's offside trap was broken to leave their striker with a simple finish.
Cristian Montano grabbed a late header to set up a close finish but the home side held on to pick up all three points.
The Under-18s will be looking to return to winning ways when they play host to Southampton at Little Heath next weekend.
West Ham United Under-18s: Mehmet, Modelski, Brown, Lampe, Sanchez, Moncur (Driver 65), Barrett (Smith 70), Wearen (Werndly 65), Subuola, Montano, Abdulla
