Adams Delighted By Second Half Response
In-form striker Eilidh Adams was "delighted" with the Hibees' second-half performance after securing a 7-1 victory away to Aberdeen.
The hosts took the lead at Balmoral Stadium after 15 minutes before Kirsten Reilly levelled before half-time. Hibs dominated after the break, with Adams grabbing a brace to set Hibs on the path to victory.
With six second half goals scored following a frustrating first 45, Adams said that the team could take great belief in the future, knowing they could confidently turn things around when under sustained pressure.
“I'm delighted. The first half wasn’t great, but we’ve come out in the second half and responded to that, and I think it was a great performance from everyone.
“Aberdeen obviously scored the first goal, and we responded well to that, and our performance improved across the first half. We were told to continue that and build on that and make sure we were doing the basics right.
“In terms of our reaction I think that was really good. That’s something we’ve maybe lacked after going a goal down. We responded really well so it was about being patient, and I think that’s what happened.”
On a personal note, Adams was delighted to continue her goalscoring form across club and country. Scoring twice against Czechia for Scotland’s Under-23s last week, she was delighted to score her 16th & 17th goals of the season in only her 13th match.
“I thought it wasn’t really coming for me today, but it was nice. It means you don’t really get a break, but you want to be away representing your country. It’s such a proud feeling.
"Getting game time in there has helped. It paid off today.
“The likes of Tegan, we’ve been away together and she’s putting balls into the box consistently, so it’s nice to have that link up.”
