Today, the Boys in Green were receiving Scheut at home. They had the chance to get the help from Alex, Fabi and Costi !
The first 15 minutes of the game felt like 35, because the ref was distributing yellow cards to Scheut’s players who couldn’t stop speaking to him and contesting his decisions. The Boys in green used the width to cross the ball, as Scheut air game is not that great. Unfortunately, it’s Scheut who scored the first goal from a deflected ball right before half time. 0-1.
But the Seconds came back on the pitch with a great mentality. And this mentality had positive consequences. After a Lolo’s cross, Costi heads it against the post before it comes back on Neil’s feet, who kicked it perfectly with his left foot to the second post. Keeper didn’t move, 1-1 !!!
And then, some minute later, another screamer, this time from Lorenzo, but the ball touches the bar and goes out. For some people, the ball was in, but not for the ref. At that moment, Lorenzo took it personally, and decided to attempt the same shot some actions later, but even more beautiful than the previous one. Again, the ball touched the bar, but this time, went fully in. No debate. 2-1, amazing screamer !!!
The cherry on the cake came from a great counter, with Fabi giving it calmly to Costi, who put it in one touch in the back of the net. 3-1 !!
Scheut managed to score a last
goal, bringing it back to 3-2. But it was not enough. FT 3-2.
First win of the Seconds in 2026. Great game boys, we can be proud of ourselves !

For anyone following the 2nds WhatsApp, you’ll know that Les Gars were heroically misinformed about the kick-off location. Still, in true 2nds fashion, we rallied — impeccably organised, as if heading out for some impromptu techno at C12 — and made it across town with the full Simpson crew intact.
On the pitch where we usually face ENTENTE, we now found ourselves up against SCHEUT. The match kicked off at full tilt, both sides trading early chances. FCI had the better of them. Their keeper was on fire (and possibly traumatised) after Lolo unleashed a rocket from three metres that nearly sent him into orbit. Justice was served soon after: a penalty, calmly slotted home by Lolo — cool, clinical, inevitable.
HT: 0–1 (and SCHEUT arguing with themselves like a married couple on holiday).
The second half began with SCHEUT throwing on everything forward, while FCI collectively decided defending was a vibe best experienced from a distance. Their big number 9 — built like a fridge and twice as effective in the air — nodded one home, then another at the back post. Before long, a third goal arrived to complete the comeback.
Amid the gloom, there was at least comic relief: Matt Sims made his grand entrance, lasting a glorious ten minutes before receiving a straight red for a “last-man challenge”. Efficient use of minutes, some might say.
FY: 3–1
