Chiefs WSL 2

On a nice Belgian September day with a small hurricane, thirds were heading to fellow chiefs’ stade Fallon.

A very unfortunately poor 10min warm up led to injuries of Mario and Eduardo getting injured early on in the game.

Nevertheless the game started like in my dream last night. 2 minutes, 2 goals from the surgeon Shane Egan (first called offside).

Then well few minutes later we I woke up and we were 3-1 down from scrappy goals from corners, defense mistakes and a very controversial penalty (where Guus took the ball first and then the player and his whole family a second later).

A Belgian-class crochet from Piet after a nice move led to a penalty before halftime converted perfectly by the surgeon. 2-3 HT.

Second half looked promising with the hurricane in our back but the Chiefs stepped up much more than us and a very good midfield quality and intensity rewarded them with 6-2 within some minutes. Defense mistakes, lack of communication between lines and cohesion in the team gave them all the space they needed to look like champions league level.

Cherry on the goujon, the last twenty minutes ended up with a small remontada to 6-4 thanks partially to gav’s nice input in the attacking patterns with two goals from him.

Anyway very disappointing game but let’s all put the little bit more energy and commitment the team needs to win the coming games lads
