Entente RACB 1

Today’s game saw the 2nd in the league face the 3rd, 4 points separating them. A big game to go 7 points clear.
L’Enteeeeeeente started the first 6min of the game with 10 men and we made the most of it. Thanks to a high block and pressure, we quickly got a corner. Lolo sent it straight to Matteo’s head, so perfectly that he didn’t even have to jump to put the ball in the net. The arrival of the 11th sleepy head for l’Enteeeente didn’t change much with the boys in green first on most balls and controlling the midfield. After a great press by Jamie, we obtained a free kick on the left side of the box. Brioche who definitely wanted to cross that for one his teammates saw his kick dancing with the wind and the curve made it go straight to the opposite corner. Some tough language and a uncontrolled tackled saw two of our guys being booked and would be taken out to avoid any catastrophe.
2-0 at half time and deserved.
The second half started with much more intensity from l’Enteeeeente who made our life difficult for 15min, but thanks to a good defence, the best chances were still for Irlande, with good shots by Lolo, João or John (who came in for Benji). On a counter attack, João ended up facing the keeper and left him no chance for the 3-0 and sealing the deal. L’Enteeeeeeente were definitely not les meilleuuuuurs today. This clean sheet against the best attack in the league tells much about the overall solid performance. The race to the top is more than ever on!

The boys played away against Entente today. After a very open and chaotic first twenty minutes the boys took the lead after some good pressing from Lolo forcing the keeper to gift the ball to Luis in the box who promptly finished with aplomb..the greens missed a flurry of chances after this and were denied a clear goal where the ref claimed the ball sneeked in through a hole in the net(utter nonsense). Then 2 minutes before half time a horror show of a control from Neil gifted the opposition a chance to score which they gratefully accepted. 1-1 HT
The boys in green started the second half strongly and got a goal through Lolo after some fine “shooting” from Gineste gifting Lolo a goal from a rebound of the crossbar..a very open game ensued with Irelande missing a host of chances and getting a goal wrongly disallowed for an offside before the opposition drew level from a Matteo OG..soon after Lolo converted a wonder goal from a tight angle on the right and unfortunately from the kickoff they let in another within a minute..with both teams pushing for the win a defensive mix up from an offensive corner lead to the boys going behind for the first time in the game..we pushed hard for the equaliser with some fantastic play but couldn’t put the ball in the net..
Loss 3-4 but some positives to work on..bigger and better next week 💚
