Today we played our first home game in the league. We had to play Helmond Sport, the team ranked first in our league.
In the first half we struggled. We were under pressure and after ten minutes we were awarded a penalty. This was well shot in, 0-1. Unfortunately we still couldn't get out from under the pressure. From a corner Helmond also scored the 0-2.
After half time things went much better. We worked incredibly hard and got into the game better. With a number of opportunities we were not lucky in finishing. In the last minute Joep was brought down in the penalty area. Penalty. He showed courage, got behind the ball and took advantage of this opportunity. 1-2. We hoped to continue this in the third half.
We didn't succeed. We took some more risks and Helmond took advantage of this in a short period of time. Through a free kick and a good attack they scored 1-3 and 1-4.
We worked very hard today but we played against a good team. We still have a lot to learn and we have seen the level we need to reach. Next week we play at 10.00 against Fortuna Sittard.
