Second-half goals by Imacio Santos and Erik Palmer-Brown earned an experienced visiting side victory but the young Foxes, whose goalkeeper Daniel Iversen (pictured above), impressed for the Foxes, gave a good account of themselves against strong opposition.
"It was a young team for us tonight, most of them were under 19 years old, and I thought we did terrific," Beaglehole told lcfc.com. "We started with five at the back and handled it well tactically."
