Scheut FC

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
