Unlike in past few games where we hit the
ground running, however, we needed some time to adjust to our young
looking, quick and technically solid opponents. By the time we found
our rhythm, we were 0:1 down, after a well worked free kick and header
which left Rudi no chance.
We remained calm despite the deficit and started to create chances
ourselves. The reward ultimately followed in the last second of the first
half, after a teasing free kick by Schacher from the left was nodded in
by Urs at the far post, to make it 1:1 at the break. We continued to be in
control of the game in the second half and managed to get the welldeserved breakthrough after 60 minutes, when Piotr collected the ball
in the opponent’s half, raced towards the keeper and coolly hammered
the ball into the back of the net from the edge of the box. There were a
few more chances on both sides in the dying minutes of the game, but
Rudi was not to be beaten again to secure us our first 3 points of the
season.
A very solid performance by the entire team with some standout
performers at the heart of midfield (Talant, Alp, Marcin) and some
incredible running by our left and right backs, Taka and CK,
respectively.
