Today no league match but a practice match against our eastern neighbors. We played without Gioele but with Chahid, Luc and Sven from the E. This time it was 9 against 9 and the match lasted 2x 30 minutes. Because of this, all the boys played one half with the D3 and the other half was filled in by Rick training.
We started the match sloppily. Many boys had to get used to the smaller field and we had difficulty creating chances. After 14 minutes Mylian managed to score from a free kick. 1-0. After that we came under more pressure. This resulted in two lucky goals for Rot Weiss Essen. 1-2. In the second half we had to do better.
With a completely new team we started the second half. From a corner we immediately got the 1-3. It now became difficult to make up for this. We got better and Joep scored the tying goal. 2-3. Five minutes later Rot Weiss Essen came through again and scored the 2-4. A few minutes before time Chahid made it exciting by tapping in the 3-4. Unfortunately we could not find the net in the last minutes.
Today, under new circumstances, we lost 3-4. In possession we were not sharp enough today, we can do much better. Fortunately we learned a lot and it was a useful practice match. Next week we play at home at 9:30 against MVV.
