R. Union St-Gilloise B

Proving strong after our “little break”, Ladies II brought home 3 points against Union St Gilloise!

From the very start of the game, FCIreland fought for all the balls. Very quickly into the game, Alex’s hustle and fight allowed her to cross the ball to Adina, who, with composure, placed the ball in the back of the net. The crowd went wild!

The defense’s focus was on. The middle battled, Lotta often giggling while she battled with her mark. Let’s just say she let her do nothing.

Defender Marianne, stepping continually up onto the ball, never allowing her mark to touch the ball allowed Alex to get the ball up front. Alex, with a little dance, dribbled around the goalie and placed the ball in the back of the net. The crowd went wild!

First half was solid. The second half, unfortunately, very quickly allowed Union to score while defense and middle struggled to get the ball out. But this did not lower FCIreland’s morale. They continued to fight. Multiple shots hit the post, through balls were made, more shots were taken, but 2 goals was all it was for FC Ireland and, thankfully, only 1 for Union.

It was a beautiful day to play football and it was so nice to be reunited, coach included! It had been a while!
