Midi AS

Another weekend for the fourth playing against Midi AS, a top 3 team of our division.

Saturday started like a nightmare with 2 last minute drop-outs.

The first part of the game was in the same nightmare vibe: we were not in the best shape and Midi was pushing hard and made us retreat. Playing that deep in our pitch created a couple opportunities for Midi to score.
After 15/20m we started to push them back and playing higher on the pitch. Finally we managed to get more possession with the ball and created more combinations. We created a couple of chances but we missed. That was the end of the first part of the game. 0-0.

On the second half we continued working hard on the possession and created opportunities but unfortunately we conceded a free kick 20mtrs from our goal. Direct free-kick, 1-0 to Midi.

4ths then pushed and fougth harder. We had a couple of chances mainly coming from Tiago and Artem but none was on target.

Finally in the last minute we managed to put the ball in the small box and by mistake of the defence the ball ended just in front of Tiago for an easy tap-in. Not the best goal but a fucking important one.

1-1. A point that keeps us alive and fighting for the relegation.

MotM: Alex

We started the game and we were playing well. Taking the ball and having the control of the match.
Then unfortunately there was an action where the attacker from the other team shot and unfortunately hit an FCI arm so that was the first penalty and the first goal.
4ths continued fighting and we were doing well. We got a corner, we tried to do what we practiced but unfortunately we were not well placed in the back and they scored the second goal in a counter attack.
Half time 0-2

A couple of changes were made at half time and we began the second half and we were quite determined, and pressing a lot. But the luck was not on our side today as a long ball from them went through and the GK was a little hesitant. The striker won the ball and the GK ended up fouling him so another penalty. 3-0

Another change of personnel and 4ths were controlling the ball, pressing hard and we got ourselves a penalty.
Unfortunately a hard and central shot from Santi hit the crossbar, it was just not our day.

Final result 0-3.
