Carpe Diem - Ragtag Rebels

Victory!! 0-2

Serious game against a serious team. It is hard to understand why they are the last in the stands.
We controlled the game although big part of the game was played in our side of the field. We had a lot (A LOT) of chances but their keeper(not the usual keeper) had a great day today. After 5 min or so we scored (Marteen) the first goal and from then everything was smoother. We had several serious counter attacks but no luck.
One min after the break Gareth scored a very nice goal and although they kept on pressing we controlled the game.
We had a green card (Marteen) but still with 4 players we managed to create two clear chances.

US: Very serious game, we were focussed and controlled most of it. Few chances from them and not really clear ones. We made Gianluca participate more in the elaboration of the move. Very nice pressing from the forwards, specially Andre. Marteen did a very nice job in the second play and in defense.

THEM: Nice team that beated us two times last year, one of them 5-0. They are quite physical team with big players and with very annoying forwards. The captain is a big guy that plays in front and always try to cover the ball. He is not technical but assists the second line pretty decently. Last guy (Nick, blond guy) shoots very hard, definetely a danger we should cover. They have a guy (dark hair, with a neckless) that gets pissed off and out of focus very easily but today he was relaxed.
Their weakest point is that when they attack they leave a lot of space behind the last guy. Deep pass to Gareth or Andre created quite some danger today.

Goals: Maarten, Gareth
