Vetuso FC

On this hot autumnal day the 2nds travelled to Genappe to face Vetuso. Game started evenly with chances on both sides, but with as many mistakes that made the game at times messy. Best chances for Irlande were from improvised striker Matteo who had to take Jamie’s position injured after a couple of minutes in the game.
The second half started with more composure and pressure from the boys in green but the opponent could strike on a counter attack and score the first goal of the game. Irlande kept high pressure, building some nice movements and was eventually rewarded by a goal with George W (who came im some minutes before for Neil), passing the ball through the keeper’s legs after a smooth pass from Benji. Building on that momentum we pushed hard but in the middle of the pitch, a missed clearance saw Vetuso’s striker running to Ahmet, who couldn’t prevent their second goal. With 5 minutes to go we tried everything with a lot of presence in the box but couldn’t get the ball in the net. A third defeat in a row but better days for the 2nds are surely ahead.
