United 3 - 1 Wycombe Wanderers
United went into this match against local rivals Wycombe Wanderers still looking for thier first points of the season and an experienced upper-mid table side was going to be a tough test for newly promoted Oxford.
The match started in a scrappy fashion with both sides struggling to get any meaningful possession. Wycombe were looking to get the ball wide early and run at United's defence, but were unable to break through Oxford's backline and create any real chances. It was Oxford who broke the deadlock with a well taken goal from Jane Yeading slotting the ball throuh the keeper's legs after being put through on goal by a great ball from the midfield, splitting the Wycombe centre halfs.
The goal boosted Oxford's confidence and saw them start to create some decent chances, but found the finish lacking. They were almost left to rue those chances as Wycombe's lone striker found herself through on goal only to be denied by a fantastic save by Georgie Currie in the Oxford goal.
United made it through to the break 1-0 up, but knew the first 10-15 minutes after the break would be massively important and needed to keep it tight.
As expected the second have saw Wycombe come out of the blocks the fastest and saw them raise the tempo of the match as they looked for the equaliser. Oxford's defence stood strong, but it was finally breached on 72 minutes.
The equaliser woke United up and it was them who took the game to Wycombe, determined to take all three points from the match. It took just 10 minutes after the equaliser for Oxford to regain the lead. It came thanks to a mistake from Wycombe's goalie along with excellent anticipation from Yeading. The keeper, who had been playing almost as a sweeper while Wycombe were a goal down, again came to the edge of her area, but with the hard ground she misjudged the bounce. Yeading nipped in behind and headered the ball into the empty net from 12 yards.
United killed off the game with a couple of minutes remaining as the ball was switched by Clare Marsh out to the right into the path of Dani Anderson who finished well past the keeper to round off a great match for United.
