In a fiercely contested match against the traditional Brussels side White Star C, Ladies 2 once again demonstrated their resilience and determination. The match was an intense and fair battle between two sides hungry for a win, and while the scoreboard may have fluctuated throughout, the spirit of the Irlande ladies never wavered.
White Star C took the early lead, but the goal didn’t seem to rattle Ladies 2. Instead, it served as motivation. With a composed and focused mindset, the team continued to push forward, showing their trademark fighting spirit. It was clear that the deficit would not stop them from giving their all.
As the match wore on, the ladies in green grew into the game more and more, with solid possession and some promising attacking moves. The pressure paid off when they eventually found the equalizer, leveling the score at 1-1. The goal was a testament to their persistence, and it was clear that they weren’t just playing for the result, but for the pride of the green jersey.
The drama escalated in the second half when a penalty gave White Star C the chance to reclaim the lead, which they did, making it 2-1. It seemed like the momentum had shifted firmly in White Star’s favor, and when a third goal loomed, it felt like the Irlande ladies might be on the brink of defeat. However, Sara Mattson pulled off an incredible save on the line, denying White Star what seemed like a certain goal. The save was nothing short of miraculous, and it sent a wave of energy and belief through the Ladies 2 squad. With renewed purpose, the team pressed on, determined not to let this one slip away.
In a dramatic final twist, deep into stoppage time, the green ladies found the back of the net again on a corner, securing the 2-2 draw. The match ended in a well-earned point, and while they didn’t take all three, the performance was one to be proud of. L2 showed grit, resilience, and a never-say-die attitude that will carry them forward through the rest of the season.
A remarkable display from the team—this one will certainly go down as one of the most exciting and hard-fought matches of the season.
super match, very well played by L2 on a unexpectedly hot day
