Union Tigers

A tough result for the boys in green today. It started nice with the sun showing his face during the warm-up (on a november morning in Belgium!!), but what followed in the first half was less heart warming. A dominant opponent and some sloppy football led to little possession and even less chances for us. An attack right through the heart of the midfield and defense lead to a deserved 0-1 at half time.
In the second half we showed another face, better football, more aggression and even some good attacks. Matteo, right back today, kept on causing danger with his crosses but we just couldn’t convert them. Then their number 9 stepped up and out of nowhere found the top corner, 0-2. We pushed back, a build-up from the back ended up in front of Benji and he found the gap just near the far post 1-2! The following increased pressure unfortunately didn’t cause anything more than a red card for them.
A tough one to take but heads up and back to training to get back stronger next week!
