It was one foray into the Saucon Valley penalty area on which the Dragons were able to break the deadlock. Haverford showed its ambition and created a swarm in the box, which resulted with both a Dragons player on the ground and a hand ball against the Valley.
Noah Cordrey stepped forward to slot home the spot kick, low to the keeper's left, and give the Dragons a well-deserved advantage in the 38th minute.
But Saucon Valley sprang to life and immediately went on the attack. Two minutes later, they forced Haverford into a bad play and won a direct kick about 20 yards from goal.
Keeper Danny Lyons was unable to do anything about the ensuing play, and Saucon Valley was on level terms.
But the momentum did not stay with the visitors for long. For as lacking as the Dragons' attack had been in the first half, it had clearly taken a major step forward in the second.
More attitude and ambition were on display, and each time the Dragon forwards touched the ball they looked menacing.
