R.FC. de Liège A

On a freezing evening in Liege, Ladies 1 kick off their first game of the new year against RFC Liege, who are currently third in the league table.

The team started the game really well, despite not being able to train the past two weeks due to snow, we were compact and solid defensively and managed to play out from the back. Liege were pressing high and created some chances however we defended them well, with a good performance from our goalkeeper. Unfortunately, towards the end of the first half, Liege gained possession and put a cross into the box which they managed to finish. However, the team kept pushing on, creating a few chances and putting Liege under pressure.

We started the second half strong, connecting with each other and creating chances. However, Liege scored early, making it more difficult for us to get points from this game. Ladies 1 kept fighting and putting in a shift defensively, with our defensive line stopping their counterattacks. Through nice passing in the team we generated shots on target, however we did not manage to get the ball in the back of the net. Despite putting a lot of pressure on the opponent and putting on our super sub Virginie we didn’t manage to score a goal.

However, it is a performance to be really proud of for the team, matching a team that are so high in the standings. We will take this and prepare for our important game next week.
