R. Union St-Gilloise B

In an exciting and dominant performance, L2 emerged as the winner with a resounding 4-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise, showcasing not just great football but a cool and composed attitude under pressure.

From the outset, L2 controlled the tempo of the game, displaying their trademark fluid passing and quick transitions. However, the match was marred by the aggressive tactics of Union Saint-Gilloise, who seemed more intent on going for our legs of our ladies in green, rather than the ball. Despite the rough treatment, L2 kept their focus and maintained their composure, refusing to be provoked.

Adina opened the scoring in the first half with an absolute stunner, a well-placed strike that left the goalkeeper with no chance. Rebby with a clinical finishing score the L2 second goal, once again proving too much for the opposition to handle. The L2 third goal arrived after Fra was fouled in the box, and the referee had no hesitation in awarding a penalty. Alex stepped up and converted it confidently, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to make it 3-0. But L2 wasn’t done there. Lola added the icing on the cake with a brilliant strike late in the game, capping off the team’s amazing performance.

The defense, led by a rock-solid backline, was unshakable throughout, and goalkeeper Marina, the special guest of the night, was rarely called into action, but when she was, she gave the USG team no chance.

It was a display of both talent and mental strength, as L2 refused to be intimidated.

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!
