      Paul
      Slaney
      adding
     
     
      goals.
      Tensions
      were
      high
      throughout
     
     
      the
      game
      and
      boiled
      over
      with
      seven
     
     
      bookings
      being
      handed

      The
      women,
      meanwhile,
      suffered
     
     
      their
      first
      loss
      of

      remained
      tied
      until
      the
      87"
      minute
     
     
      when
