LXG Cinquant

1sts faced top of the table LXG on a sunny afternoon in Schaerbeek. Things started badly when they scored after a few minutes with a simple over the top ball which caught our defence out and their striker put it away. The rest of the 1st half was pretty even as we fought our way back into the game. 2nd half we probably  were edging it in a well contested highly competitive game but  chances were few and far between. We got an unexpected opportunity to equalise 5 minutes from the end when we were awarded a dubious penalty after one of their defenders was  adjudged to  have handled. Unfortunately we missed and barely 2 minutes later they were awarded a penalty which was well saved by Victor. Game ended 1 0. We could and should have had something from the game but its just not going for us. A lot of good individual performances today and debuts for Liam and James Brett ,son of ex player Sean Brett,who was captain of the Vets over 20 years ago . James Shallow was at the heart of most of our play and deservedly was voted MOTM.
