What a beautiful day to play football in the middle of nowhere in Wallonia. So nice to play one half with golf balls falling on us. Anyway, the Boys in Green started on the strong foot, scoring 0-1 after 15 min, after a beautiful cross of Ryan finding the head of Thomas. 0-1 at HT. In the second half, the Seconds let the opponent installing himself in our defense, giving them some opportunities. Unfortunately, FCI was not far from scoring the 0-2, with Lolo hitting the post from outside of the box. But now the least funny part: the ref gave 3 red cards in 7 minutes to Matteo, Brioche and Nate. 8 against 11: quick maths ! Luckily, the Seconds managed to hold the score to the end. 0-1 victory !!! Shalalalalalalaaaaaaa !

Another match day in Nossegem for the 2nds, under a light drizzle, facing the 3rd in the league, only 3 points behind. Perfect conditions for a big battle and the 6 pointer game. The first half was balanced with very few chances on both sides, and basically one shot on target for each team. In the second half, against a tired opponent, the 2nds clearly took the advantage, putting pressure and completely dominating the midfield, creating more chances. Some smart substitutions by coach John and assistant Josh brought Lolo and Jamie in. On a corner the former putting a lovely ball in the box for Jamie with a low header, giving the lead to the men in green. Domination remained the same, with more chances, for João on a long shot over the keeper (and slightly over the goal) and a cross bar header by Benji on another corner. Despite some pressure in the last minutes, that was enough for the 2nds to clinch their 6th victory in the row.
