The strategy talk was clear: Cuong was playing in goal, but supporting the three outfield players, and as a whole it was supposed to look like a diamond. Kai was reminded before kick-off that running was no longer optional, but part of the game. He fully understood.
Our opponent was made up of players from British Club and Exiles. We quickly established ourselves with two quick goals from Urs. The second was awarded to him by the Dubious Goals Panel, as the ball was on the way to the back of the net when the goalkeeper intervened (unsuccessfully). Cuong’s view was clearly obstructed as he thought it was an own goal. BFA pulled own back, but we were always in control of this game, to secure a much deserved 5:2 win. Goals from Kai, Joss, Urs 3.
