The 2nd team gars suffered their first defeat of the season, at the hands of a typically pesky Entente.
An early shower between the sticks was not part of the game plan and left it all to do for the home side. Maxi came flying off his line as he would a Morzine piste and was a touch unfortunate to bring down the Entente striker bearing down on goal. John played the sacrificial lamb as Karim nobly stepped up to go in net – Max’s parents had seen enough and also decided to call it a day.
A double salvo quickly followed for the visitors amid some pretty suspect marking in the FCI box. The 10 men welcomed the half-time whistle, going in 0-2 down.
With rallying cries ringing in the ears, the lads showed great character and put in a spirited 2nd-half performance.
João was full of tricks and dangerous throughout, fuelling hopes of a comeback with a tidy finish into the bottom corner after being put through by first-teamer Papi (thanks for helping us today 🙏🏻)
But alas, the comeback wasn’t to be. As the lads threw everything and everyone forward in search of an equaliser, Entente broke and rolled the ball into an empty net in the final minute, with the goal fondly dedicted to Hadri by the Entente player.
1-3 final score, but plenty of positives to take away. MotM João (goal a game)
