Choule Auderghem 1

The Firsts faced Choule in a must-win game to kick-start their season, and with their strike force finally back in action, the difference was immediate. Arjan and Rach returned to add firepower, and it paid off right away.

Just 10 minutes in, Arjan laid the ball off to Rach, who finished neatly from outside the box. Five minutes later, Rach slipped it through to Ciaran, who cut in from the right and buried it — 2-0. Another 10 minutes on, Erik found Ciaran down the right, and once again he cut inside to smash it home with his right foot. Total domination: 3-0.

The second half was more of the same. Choule never had a chance. Fifteen minutes in, Ciaran and Arjan combined with a slick one-two before Ciaran was brought down in the box. He missed the resulting penalty and the chance for a hat-trick, but Erik pounced on the rebound to make it 4-0.

With five minutes to go, Arjan whipped in a corner straight onto Remy’s head to seal it at 5-0. Game over.
