FC Irlande  3 secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory in bitterly cold and wet conditions, showing grit and determination from start to finish.

The rain poured relentlessly, turning the pitch into a slippery battlefield where control and composure were at a premium.

Both sides struggled to create clear chances early on, with tackles flying in and possession frequently changing hands.

The breakthrough finally came midway through the second half when the Irish attack reacted quickest to a loose ball in the midfield, worked well up the lest flank and finished by Timo smashing it past the stranded goalkeeper.

From there, it was a test of endurance and defensive discipline. The back line, marshalled superbly by centre-half Ara and Noel, repelled the long ball pressure, while goalkeeper Guus produced a good save late on to preserve the lead.

As the final whistle blew, FC Irlande celebrated a well-earned win born of resilience and teamwork.
