Ragtag Rebels - De Witte Burgh

Victory! 3-2.
Very tense match. We started loosing (as usual) by a long shot that came in through a lot of legs. They could have scored a second one but they didn't. Then in a counter attack, Gianluca to Jelmer, Jelmer to the space for Gareth and goal.
Soon we managed to score a second goal (Francesco) and we were leading for some minutes but shortly a shot from our last guy was recovered by them, counter attack and goal.

In the second half we fixed some things in defense and they had way less danger. In the first half we were following the keeper too much and then leaving holes behind, we stopped doing that and then we controlled the game a bit better.
Later we had quite some chances and eventually we managed to score the third (Jelmer). We still have chances after that but didn't score any of them.

US: In the first half we were too many people attacking and left quite some spaces behind. Gareth was very inspired and not only scoring but also working the front line. Martin and Andre made very smart desitions, making faults when an opponent was coming through. Looks like finally we are learning that part of the game too.

THEM: Very good team. Technically and physically not brilliant but defenetely a good team. They pass the ball with a lot of sense, they don't loose balls in dangerous places and on top of that, their keeper it's not only good but also attacks a lot. It's like they play with one more player.
They leave quite some spaces behind when they attack. Right after recovering the ball, whenever Gianluca was playing a ball quickly to the attackers, we had clear chances. Even scored a goal (Gareth) like that. They loose focus from time to time and that is one of the few weak points they have.
