Saint George Rcs 1

On a sunny Saturday in Brussels, FCI4 headed into the suburb of WSP to take on St George’s 1.

Despite entering the club spirit and helping a few other teams with players, we entered the fray with high spirits and a strong team.

FCI4 generally dominated the early exchanges although struggled a little to make the final incision. We then were victims of our own downfall. A back pass to the stand in GK Max unfortunately somehow resulted in an own goal after a small mis-kick.

The guys did not let this get them down and they continued to press, play and encourage each other but it wasn’t quite falling for them in the box.

We made a couple of changes during the 2nd half to freshen things up and dominated even further. This eventually led to a free kick on the left side of the box about 10mins from the end. Fabian, carrying a knock, then stepped up and sent the ball towards goal and despite the GK’s efforts the ball just crept in under the bar. 1-1!!!

We could feel the confidence surging and continued pushing. Then with 3mins to go, that little Colombian magician received the ball just inside the opposition half, in the centre circle, turned and saw something. He sent the ball soaring and managed to lob the GK on the line to put us 2-1 ahead!!!!!!

We thankfully managed to hold the remaining moments with ease to get back to winning ways after some indifferent form lately.

4ths played their first home season game against a good saint-georges team who finished 2nd in D3 last season.
Game was really even for the 1sts 25 minutes and close to the half time we, as last week, decided to be a nice host and give the opponent a goal after a bad pass in our defense.
We didn’t put our head down and started attacking more.
Just before HT we got a corner shot by Manu. GK saved a header and the ball bounced on the goal line. Tiago was there to tap it in and make the 1-1.
2nd half was better for us, we dominated the game and got the reward with 10 mins to go with Peppe dribbling on the right wing, and went on a 1 vs 1 with the keeper. Keeper touched the ball and deflected just enough to not pass the goal line. Again, Tiago was there to push it in.
The last 5 mins were just defending. Not beautiful but…who cares?
Great team and fighting spirit today.
2-1 win.
