Another draw that felt like a loss

With a strong squad and OG having lost the momentum from the beginning of the season, expectations were high on the GSAS side. We started off well, dominating the game but a sloppy situation in the defense was brutally converted by OG, 0:1 down...having proven the team's strong morale and mentality many times before where we were down and managed to come back, the team was confident and continued playing strong and creating chances. One of which was converted by Julian, 1:1. The remainder of the first half we were pressing and created more and more chances but were lacking the efficiency to go into the halftime break with a lead. In second half we started where we left of, and were eventually rewarded with a penalty. Hamza took the ball and brought us the well deserved 2:1 lead....well deserved at that time...From 75min onwards we stopped playing to win, but started playing not to lose (as we always do) also due to our lack of fitness and so we brought OG back into the game. Tables were turned and OG was pressing now creating chances and challenging our GK Said who heroically tortured himself for the team despite his injuries, but eventually had to be subbed off and we brought Madse in (thanks for your effort!). With all the breaks for Said, the ref gave rightfully a longer overtime which OG made use of to equalize in the last minute. Having dominated the majority of the game and conceding the equalizer in the last minute naturally makes it feel more like 2 lost rather than 1 won point, but the commitment of the team and football quality is certainly improving, something positive to take into our last match vs Nippon and then into the Xmas break. MoM to Hamza our beast in the defense, always fighting for life and death and keeping a calm head at the penalty. Thanks OG and refs for a fair game.
