Today we played at home against Fortuna Sittard. Here we had won twice before at home. We hoped we could do the same today.
In the first half we were stronger than Fortuna. We created chances but the ball did not want to hit the ropes. Fortunately Djurre broke the spell. On the sideline he subtly tapped the ball over his opponent. He let the ball bounce once, saw that the goalkeeper was too far in front of his goal and shot it in. A beautiful 1-0. At halftime we agreed that we had to finish it off, we had to be sharper in front of the goal to decide this game.
And we were. In the second half, we ran out to a 5-0 lead. Mohammed-Amine Ihattaren scored twice, Luuk once and Heritier scored after sending two guys into the woods.
We also started the third half well. Via again Mohammed-Amine Ihattaren we made it 6-0. Still Fortuna Sittard became dangerous in front of our goal. They scored twice, 6-2. In the last minute Genrich was still in the mood. He passed his opponent but was put down in the sixteen-meter area. Penalty. Genrich got behind the ball himself and shot it in impeccably high. Final score, 7-2.
We played well today. Occasionally we were a little too sloppy in ball possession but we never got into trouble. On Wednesday we go to Turnhout to play an exercise game against KV Turnhout o12.
