4ths hosted Ettekijs 2 after a disappointing result last week.
Highly motivated we started well, creating good chances through Artem and Alberto. Unfortunately their shots went wide. Ettekijs remained dangerous in counters but only shot once on target during the whole match.
While the second half was more balanced in terms of possession, we pushed for the winning goal in the last 15 minutes. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to capitalise. The game ended 0:0.
MotM: Alex and Artem
Fourths faced a strong Ettekijs 2 team today in Watermael-Boitsfort. Despite the recent setbacks, we played well in the first half in a very intense and physical game. Just minutes before half time, we were awarded a penalty after a nice run from Viktor. Unfortunately Karim didn’t use this big chance to take the lead, as the goalkeeper saved his attempt.
A few minutes into the second half, Ettekijs took the lead after a free kick into the box, and doubled it a few minutes later with another header. Fourths did not give up, but couldn’t create dangerous situations and conceded two more goals on the counter.
An overall improved performance, but a lot of work ahead to get out of the relegation zone.
