Portugal Fc 1

1sts were looking to get back to winning ways against an in form Portugal. Very even & high quality game, Arjan running through, taken out, red card. Free kick despatched beautifully by Rachid. Added a 2nd through Ciarán just before HT & a 3rd just after by Arjan. Then conceded 2. We scored a beautiful 4th, Daan cross field, Rachid chest, to Bono, slipped to Ciarán who did the defender & curled into the corner. Got a 5th, lovely curler James from the edge of the box. Ricard then with a brilliant penalty save , Arjan finished a lovely 6th & they scored a soft penalty at the end. Great win against a very good team

1sts were playing Portugal away on a nice sunny afternoon. We had a chaotic start to the game, finding out bono is suspended, started the game with no subs. We conceeded from a scrappy ball behind the defense that resulted in pass back in the box that helped them to go 1-0 up. We fought back, took control of the game, scored from a lob by Seb (brilliant assist by Tiago). 1-1 HT.

2nd half was tough, we missed a great open goal chance, but could’ve conceeded as well, goal line save from Erik and a flying stop from Ricard. In the end we managed to hold on to get a point 1-1 FT. New signing Rob played a great game in the defense with fellow 45-year-old Siggie.
