Euro Union

Our cup team came up short today, losing 1-4 in our 1st ever cup final. We started slowly, conceding after 7 minutes, shot through the legs, possibly a foul in the build up. We went 2 down 10 before half time, failed to clear a corner a couple of times, shot from the edge. That was just after Seb hit the post from a great effort. 2nd half we were much better, completely on top. Should have had a penalty & a red card for their defender when Tiago was taken out, linesman & ref looking straight at it, baffling. We pulled one back, brilliant Daan header from an Alvaro corner. We pushed & pushed & with 15 to go pivotal moment. Their guy was offside from a cross, he had 2 attempts brilliantly saved by Ricard, finished with the 3rd attempt, hitting a guy on the line on the way in who was blocking Ricard. No offside given, baffling. We pushed & pushed & could have had another penalty & a red card but guess what? Baffling. They got a penalty near to end to at least confirm that the officials know how to give one. I spoke with Mr Luppens afterwards who, unprompted confirmed all these things to me. But anyway, what a cup run & an incredible club effort to get there, let’s store it up & look to right the wrongs next season. We are the Republic of FC Irlande 💚
