Wong A.S.

The 1st took on Wong away in a bid to secure second place in the league. It was never going to be easy against a Wong team who beat us narrowly in the first encounter. Due to low availability, the team was supplemented with a few players from the 3rd/4ths, but as Wong also missed quite a few players an even game could be expected. From the start, Wong was a bit more on top, with us creating some half-chances. As the game progressed, the “newly” composed team started to show cracks: we couldn’t find each other, used too much time on the ball, and were not well balanced. Wong found a lot of space and ran over us at times. Had it not been for an outstanding Ricard in goal, we could have been down 4-0 at halftime. We agreed to try and play simpler and more direct in the second half. However, Wong had other plans and early on scored a nice goal from a run into the box, which even superman Ricard could do nothing about. The game became more even, but we didn’t manage to create clear chances. It didn’t help that we picked up a red card with 10 minutes to go. All in all, a fairly poor performance from us and a well-deserved win for Wong. MOTM Ricard

1st took on joint 4th place Wong. Looking to bounce back after last weeks undeserved defeat against BUFC, we dominated the first 10 minutes creating some good opportunities which went wide or were denied by their goalie. The rest of the half was fairly even with both teams creating some half decent chances. Second half we dropped down on both accuracy and tempo. Wong scored early on a counter attack and continued to look dangerous on the counterattack. After 20 min they went 2-0 up with a well executed header from a cross. The last 10 minutes we finally looked dangerous and showed glimpses of last years glory. Arjan got us a penalty with a few minutes to go, well executed, which gave us some hope of a point but time ran out. Disappointing in the end, but well bounce back!
