Today we played Fortuna Sittard for the second time. This time at the Herdgang, without Tim and Gioele who participated with the E youth.
We started the game unparalleled. Within 10 seconds we had a wonderful attack promoted to goal. 1-0 by the finisher, Joris. After this great start Fortuna got into the game better. This resulted in the 1-1. Just before halftime they even managed to make it 1-2 from a corner. There was not much left of our great start.
In the second half we went looking for the tying goal. Genrich took advantage of a mistake and scored the 2-2. A minute later Joris put pressure on the Fortuna defense. They made a mistake and Joris coolly finished it off. 3-2. Unfortunately it was then another free kick that gave away our lead. Fortuna headed in the 3-3. Meanwhile, 34 minutes had been played.
In the third half we quickly fell behind. 3-4. Fortunately Joep headed in the 4-4 a few minutes later. This gave us confidence and we wanted to win this game too. Joep seemed to be on his way to the 5-4, but according to the linesman he was unfortunately offside. In the last ten minutes we still gave the game away. In the 53rd and 58th minutes Fortuna scored the decisive 5-4 and 6-4.
Today we started very well but could not push through on the tough pitch. Next week we play at 9.30 am at home against FC Den Bosch.
