Ragtag Rebels vs VSP



(Sent by Jelmer)

Yesterday we played against VSP. The ranking told us they had only 1 point so far, but they played already against two of the best teams. Also, this team beat is twice last season (both times 4-3), so we definately did not underestimate them. The game started at 22.30, with a referee that like to talk a lot, and because most of us had no clue what he was saying all the time this lead to some misunderstandings and confusion sometimes. Where last year these kind of situations could get us distracted, now we kept calm and focussed on our own game.

The game started off with some chances on both sides, but no goals. With a good individual action on the left side Carlos opened the score. The 1-0 gave us confidence and we conveniently increase our score to 4-1 at half time. We were leading comfortably, but lost our concentration in the first five minutes of the 2nd half and VSP game back with two goals in a short time. We regained our focus and picked up our teamplay from the first half, which led to 5 more goals in the second half. The 9-3 score was already reached 5 minutes before the end of the game. We had a few big chances to make number 10, but we did not manage to exceed our score from last week......

It was a pretty easy victory. There could have been a few goals more if we were more accurate, but 9-3 is a very good result. VSP did not have expetional players. Their strenght is their teamplay, but that was not enough this time. Some of them started to make some tackles in the 2nd half. We kept cool and just scored more goals;)

Next week we play against De Witte Burgh, one of the leading teams this season. !!!

Stats:
