Ogs-Vikings
(From coach JB)
Despite the rain, Jap association pitch was in fair condition for the game.
Game started well for OG that was well in position and managed to contain Tommy Sorensen and other vikings strikers.
We managed to bring the ball up to Vikings camp but the last pass was more problematic.
A miscommunication between David and KArim would help Vikings getting the opener after 15 mn. OG would keep playing a decent football and got 2 or 3 opportunities to equalize. Without being very dangerous, Vikings was 1-0 up at halftime.
Second half, same tempo and a balanced possession of the ball. Once again Vikings would take advantage of an individual mistake in defense to score their second goal of the day. However, Gaulois efforts to get back in the game would be rewarded. A short pass from Alex was deflected by Fred R to Christophe T, that would perfectly kick the ball past Viking GK. This reduction of the score should have given us wings and will. We tried to push a bit more but the last 15 min were too much for our limited physical condition and we conceded 3 more goals.
5-1, harsh result, not reflecting the good game of gaulois's players.
Congrats to Vinkings for their fairplay. They managed to play cleverly with their physical advantage.
