Patjes FC

4ths faced old rivals Patjes after a good performance last week. We didn’t start well, but somehow managed to score on our first attack, after Lorenzo capitalised from a defensive mistake.
While Patjes was the better team, we defended well and didn’t allow many chances.
Aided by very questionable decisions by the referee, Patjes were first given a penalty, amazingly saved by our replacement keeper Ale, but also two free kicks which led to two goals.
Final result 2:1.
Man of the match: Ale

After starting our season last saturday with a late 1-0 win, 4ths wanted to get their first home victory this season.
We started the game seriously and remained very strong in defense allowing very few opportunities to Patjes.
We scored twice in the last 10 minutes of the first half. Same goal. We kept the ball in the midfield and found Grisha on a long ball. 2 face to face vs the keeper. 2-0 up at HT.

We missed a couple of clear opportunities to kill the game at the beginning of the 2nd half and allowed Patjes to be back in the game after a cross nicely headed on the goal by their striker.

2-1 up, with 20 to go. 4ths suffered, 4ths defended, 4ths fought but 4ths didn’t break.

2-1 win. Motm Diego.
