1sts played against old rivals Brussels British today at Nossegem. They honoured us with a guard of honour & a nice presentation of champagne to DOF Paul pre match.Game was really even in the 1st half & at times very high quality, 0-0 at HT. We opened the scoring from a lovely cross from Liam onto Sigve’s head, after great work by Sylvain, nice finish from Sigve. Game continued to be even but they pressed well & eventually got the equaliser through a penalty. We almost immediately went back ahead, great work from twinkle toes James, to Luke, out to Rachid, 1st time cross with his right (right) foot to Jimmy who buried it first time for his first goal for the firsts. A nice win against worthy opponents who showed their class again, on & off the pitch. MOTM, aul twinkle toes himself, James.
Firsts win the derby against the British! After a bad beginning from FCI 1, Arjan managed to go on two great solo’s giving us a 2-0 head start. Second half the boys picked it up better resulting in multiple chances. Later on Arjan gave a cross that one of the British was friendly enough to kick in himself. Then Arjan missed a penalty and the usual suspects (Arjan, Siggy and Rachid) got a yellow card. As you can read it was a lot about Arjan this game, making him the man of the match as well. Solid performance of the lads! FT 3-0
Special mention for the Brits centre back who got off with a head injury. Wishing you agood recovery!
