RSC Ixelles A

It was a chilly Friday night in Ixelles and FC Irlande was ready to take on R. Ixelles S.C. in what promised to be an exciting match. Unfortunately, things started off on the wrong foot for the team as R.Ixelles S.C. scored from a cross in the 15th minute. The team tried to regroup and bounce back, but R.Ixelles S.C. managed to score again in the 25th minute, putting FC Irlande in a difficult position.

But our resilient squad was not ready to give up yet! Juliette stepped up to the plate in the 35th minute and scored a beautiful penalty, igniting hope in the team and the loyal fans who showed up to support the greens despite the cold. Regardless of the 2 goal deficit, FC Irlande continued to play well and put up a good fight.

However, in the 70th minute, R.Ixelles S.C. scored another goal. But our never-say-die spirit was still going strong and Juliette scored a gorgeous goal in the 73rd minute, giving the fans something to cheer about. After the goal, the defensive line continued to keep the Ixelles attackers under firm control, and several dangerous attempts were built up from the hard-working midfield to our fast attackers.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to secure the win for FC Irlande and the game ended in a 3-2 loss. Despite that, the team played well and should have at least earned one point. It was a freezing evening, but the team’s performance was anything but cold. They gave everything on the field and made us proud.

This match also marked the final game for FC Irlande’s player Ebba, the solid central defender from Sweden. Ebba will be greatly missed by the team, and her contributions to the club will not be forgotten. Here’s to better luck next time!
