After coming back from 2-0 down to win 5-4 against Ambiance Auderghem in the away fixture 4-5, Men 2 again used this winning formula to pull off a stunning victory at home. A sloppy opening goal for the visitors summed up a pretty woeful first half for the BIG.
Despite a big team talk and some tactical changes at the break, the 2nd half immediately delivered a 2nd goal for the visitors, via a sumptuous daisy cutter that snuck in at the near post.
Everyone on the pitch knew that 2-0 was far from game over.
A hatty from stricken striker Joao saved the day away and it was Lolo with the heroics at home, a finely crafted treble for him to continue his purple patch and turn the tie on its head. Neil and Brioche among the providers. Benji stuck away a cross from John-Simon to confirm the remontada, 4-2 and surely game over? No! Another late gift arrived for Ambiance to keep the game interesting, this time from Papi Claus, but it was nothing more than that. Big 4-3 win, back to winning ways and title hopes well and truly alive. MOTM Lolo ⌚️
The beasts went to Auderghem to get 3 points in an unnecessary suffering of the game. The lads started on the wrong foot and conceded two goals. After that they shaped up, got on steam going and scored 5 goals, Joao 3, Gonçalo 1 and Villu 1. After that we gave our fans some anxiety and conceded 2 more. Kept ourselves tight and final result 4-5. Great win and spirit, let’s keep it up!
