On this cold Thursday evening, the league game had to be played ahead of time, on Thursday instead of Saturday.
If we win these games, we could be on top for a while.
So an important game for the boys.
When we got there we soon saw that the conditions would not be ideal, bad artificial turf, bad light, lots of leaves on the field, etc..
But the game started and we immediately played to win.
NAC was immediately pinned down, we wanted to move the ball around quickly and finish the game before halftime.
Because some of the boys also had KNVB activities this week, we wanted to decide the game quickly.
Our agreements, hitting twice, putting pressure quickly, playing forward, worked well.
But NAC was able to limit the damage at halftime by only trailing 0-1. Goal by Remco.
Which kept them in the game.
After halftime we wanted to finish it off, but NAC got a corner just after halftime that blew in and was caught behind the line by Lucas.
Although everyone said it wasn't behind the line, it was still cleared and suddenly it was 1-1.
After that the boys picked it up right away, really started to hit 2x, put pressure on and play to win.
Soon it was 1-2 by Yorbe through a nice action in the 16 and calmly shot into the long corner.
Sekou, who was filmed by PSV jeugd.nl, then made 1-3 by a nice shot into the cross.
And Vince made it 1-4 at the end by a dry, hard blast from 16 yards.
The result was a bit too low, but nevertheless again a top performance by everyone, by also winning this difficult away match. And now we are at least until
Saturday.
Also the boys who played in the cold, well done.
Also classy that Sem was just there, despite being injured.
Now the next game is against Willem II and we have something to make up for that!
