Jaydan Kamason looked bright in his short cameo before half-time, Sekou Kone was composed in midfield and Jim Thwaites showed the sort of determination Amorim respects by racing back to make a superbly timed goal-saving challenge on Adrian Segecic, with one of the final actions of the contest.
“We were expecting a good game, an intense game, in these conditions,” said Amorim afterwards. “But the good thing is that we didn’t have injuries and we saw the young kids.
“The important thing is no injuries, with this weather and everything that we did to arrive here in this day. But, again, it’s not an excuse. We should perform better.
“We have to control the minutes of everybody. He [Kone] will play more in the next game on Friday. He did quite well but all the young kids tried, that is the most important thing. They want to play more but we have to rotate everybody, so everybody can play. They did well.”
