As every weekend now, 4ths had a win or die game against a team we beat a month ago.
We started to game really well and should have scored 2 or 3 in the first 10 minutes by Alberto, but as too often this season we were not killer enough in front of the goal. 0-0 HT.
After some changes we were even more dominant and Matteo had litteraly nothing to do.
We finally got awarded a penalty by a great referring after a clear foul on Artem.
After having missed out last 6 penalties (yes. 6), Artem showed confidence and took it. 1-0.
The opponent then gave up and spent the last 10 mins insulting each other and insulting us.
Artem scored a 2nd penalty with 3 mins to go after a. handball on the box following a corner and good preasure from Fabi.
3 good points that maintain us in the fight for the relegation.
This will make christimas feel better and the beers tonight taste better.
2-0 win. Motm Artem
After 4 losses in a row 4ths had a crucial game today against the team right behind. Very important to put a 5 points gap between us and them in this relegation battle.
Sunny weather, good pitch, 20 players available for this game and a lot of the unavailable/injured/not selected guys there to supoort us.
We started strong as we knew that in those kind of game between 2 teams in lack of confidence the first goal is key.
4ths were the best team on the pich from minute one, staying tight, not conceding chances and keeping the ball.
We went 1-0 up when Costi, as always, won his 1vs1 vs the keeper after a through ball from Peppe between the 2 CBs.
Most difficult thing was done and we turned 1-0 up at HT.
Opponent received a red card for kicking Viktor when he was on the ground. After that we somehow stopped playing and just kept the 1-0 instead of killing the game with a 2nd goal.
Opponent had a couple of opportunities at the end on set pieces, but with Christian on goal for his very last match in green, that’s a no danger.
Serious game, very important win. 2nd goal for Costi in 2 games and a deserved motm for Christian.
