FC Irlande Vets 1

Vet 1 had a hard match today versus the bresilian from auderghem, always a difficult moment with this technical team…. The match start with a big pressure of Irish lads, all team were concerned and the opportunity arrived with a nice goal from Yacine… The first half was controlled and finished with tjis score…

The second half start with advises from coach David : we have the wind so shoot!!… Maybe for one time Irish lads hear him and after 10 mn Musti lauch a scud for beat their keeper… 2-0… Auderghem put a big pressure and run in attack, and scored on penalty for continue to believe… Believe in what?? Adi launch the second scud for close the game 3-1…what a result versus a top team…

Motm Clément

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)!

Vets 1 played Metrasport in what is usually a high-scoring fixture, 8 goals this time… we started well, Fernando poking in after a corner, Metrasport equalised with their first chance, we re-took to lead for 2-1 (a nice lay back by Stepan coolly slotted in by Gonçalo) and should have gotten more but for some finishing issues (Matt still a bit rusty) – still we kept the lead into HT, then 2nd half Metrasport went up a gear and got a couple of fortunate goals to quickly go 2-5 up, Matt getting a consolation (assist Clément) finally as we finished strongly and could have gotten a 4th (Gonçalo hit the bar, 2 good saves to deny Sparks and Matt) despite sticking with the same outfield 10 that started (in rather hot temperatures) – on another day we’d have won this one but as it was we endured a painful 3-5 defeat. Fernando MoTM, Gonçalo close second, Brussels British next, time for points.
