FC Kosova Schaerbeek

On Saturday, 5 October, FC Irlande Ladies III faced one of the league’s toughest teams, FC Kosova, currently second in the table.

The match starts uphill for FCI which, after 5 minutes, is 1-0 down and after 10, loses Macarena due to an injury. During the first half, FCI seems stuck and struggles to find movement and space on the pitch. This allows Kosova to take control of the game and score three more goals by the end of the first half, ending with the result of 4-0.

FCI enters the field determined to improve the first half performance. More movements and dynamism, especially in midfield, reduce the space for Kosova’s manoeuvres and chances to score and increase the time spent on the opponent’s side of the field. Despite significant improvements in the second half, Kosova scores two more goals. The match finishes 6-0.

A match like the one played against Kosova shows how much intensity and dynamism can make a difference. When in the second we put those on the field, we were able to play a much better game. A positive note that came out of this match is the performance of Karissa in goal, not only for the performance itself but for making herself available to play in that crucial and peculiar role.
