Brussels British 5

Vets 1 played Brussels British, we started well, took the lead, Clément assist for a nice Gonçalo finish, doubled the lead when Armands crossed for a spectacular Rodri guided header into the corner, 2-0 against the wind, things looked good, alas the wind finally punished us on a corner, the ball ending up changing trajectory and floating into the net, 2-1, HT, then we had injuries, lost shape, and spent most of the match defending against a technically better and patient team, we conceded an unlucky penalty, one of those where the ball rebounds off a knee and then brushes an arm when impossible to move (VAR would’ve taken 5 mins on that…), 2-2, chances kept coming to the Brits and after some ping pong in defence it fell to one of their (numerous) better players to stroke it into the bottom corner, 2-3; at this point we actually manufactured our first chances of the 2nd half, 2 or 3 of them, but it wasn’t to be. Next week we face division champions Gast, hopefully not still needing a point to stay in the division ..

First point of the season… dedicated to Francois and David! 😊 we had clearer chances than they had… both goals were in the second half… theirs from a corner kick and ours a build up from the left side… Yacine assisted Matt for a banger (lovely powerful shot to the right down corner)!
