Chiefs WSL 2

Today the 3ds were hoping to be back on the winning track after their great performance last week. Conditions looked favorable as the other team, Chiefs, arrived about 10 min before kick-off and started the game with 10 players. The first 15 minutes were balanced, but they quickly showed their great technical skills and we knew it would get harder when the 11th player would come in. François had two “opportunities”: a deep pass a bit too long from Piet, and a corner which landed close to his feet. Chiefs hit the crossbar with a nice shot and the next shot from outside the box went beautifully in the top corner (0-1). Then, it got harder. They were playing fast and well on the ground, some very nice football. Antoine left us with some hope by stopping a sloppy penalty (see video above), but they scored 0-2 on a nice counter-attack. HT. We started the second half with better intentions, and downhill, managed to bring more presence in their half of the pitch but without much danger. Patryk and Scott came in. We could have had a penalty for a fault on Shane that started outside the box but clearly finished inside. We had two huge chances to score with Tim receiving a good cross by Alex and passing it to Shane, who missed by a few centimeters. P-A could have awarded his great performance with a goal after being sent alone by Piet in front of the keeper, who saved it. Chiefs scored the 0-3 and 0-4 out of other counter-attacks. Hard result, but good reaction in the second half. P-A MOTM. The opponents said it was their best game in two years… Let’s say it was not the case for us, but we’ll react next weekend!
