British United 2

A crisp afternoon in Nivelles begins !

3′ in and we have our first shot on goal for Greens. Brioche from the edge of the box, over the bar.

5′ in and no one has taken ownership of possession as yet. Greens trying to build from back.

6′ lovely turn between 2 players out of trouble by Servais. He showed low blood pressure there.

8′ dodgy offside call there after greens confiscated possession leading to a long ball forward to Lolo from Brioche. Some whining from the bench about the call.

10′ Blues’ turn to take possession. Run down the left wing safely marshalled by stand in RB Simms.

12′ ⚽️ goal for blues. Very confusing sequence of events at the back leads to tap in. 1-0.

14′ greens confidence rocking. Unforced corner conceded. Leads to header wide.

17′. Corner for blues. Unconvincing defending, eventually clear.

20′ Greens reestablishing a footing in the game. First serious spell of possession in blues territory.

21′ Lolo shot from range. On target, comfortably saved.

22′ free kick for greens from midfield…

25′ 10 mins to go in first half. Shaky passing leads to unforced corner for blues.

27′ first signs of the signatory high press leads to chance for gabi in the box. Corner for greens…

30′ blues on the attack. Cross cleared.

31′ ball won high by Servais, leads to throw in.

32′ CHANCE FOR GREENS.

35’ GOAL FOR GREENS. Blues build up play leads to counter from Gabi. Great cross comes to Lolo, and a chested touch followed by a Di Canio style finish makes it 1-1 right on HT.

2nd half 

3′ attacking free kick for greens…

5′ another FK for greens.

7′ blues around the box. Poor cross.

7′ evidence suggests greens were listening to the HT team talk, looking much more composed in possession. Play taking place higher up the pitch.

10’ ➡️ Villu in for Matt

17′ ➡️ Luis in for George

18′ DOUBLE SAVE BY AHMET

19′ OVERHEAD KICK FROM LOLO!! …thats all we’ll say.

25′ CHANCE FOR GREENS !!! Beautiful corner on to Matteo’s head from point blank range. Wide…

27’ 2-1 GREENS !! Matteo with the decisive goal !! Some nice build-up play from the middle leads to a pass from brioche out to Hadri. Ball back across the goal and who should be arriving with the keeper…but our CB. Keeper fumbles into Matteo’s stride. Open goal beckons, and he makes no mistake.

1-2 FT !!!

MOTM’s : Brioche and Lolo
