Tough game for Ladies 1 at the weekend. Facing top of the league Renaissance A.E.C Mons, who are unbeaten this season, the team had to play a very strong opponent.
However, the team started the game very well, resisting the attacks of the opponent and creating a few chances. Mons were putting a lot of pressure on the defence with long balls, but they were also strong in dribbling and short passes to each other. Unfortunately, after 20 minutes this lead to their first goal, with a through ball splitting our defensive line. With FC Irlande being unlucky with the refereeing, they shortly scored a second and third goal. Eventually a well taken corner put the team 0 – 4 down a halftime.
FC Irlande had a strong start to the second half, playing very compact, which gave Mons few chances to score. Despite the teams efforts, Mons managed to score again late in the game resulting in a 0 – 7 loss this weekend. Nevertheless, there are plenty of positives to take away from this game and its a step forward for the team, preparing us for an important game against White Star.
