Today there was no league game scheduled. Therefore we played an exercise game against Kampong D1. An opponent two years older, that could be tough. We played 3x twenty minutes.
In the end, January 25, 2014 will go in the books as Joey van Casand's day. In the first half he kept himself to himself. As a left winger, we saw him little on the ball. We deservedly fell behind 1-0. Kampong played more aggressively and we had no answer.
In the second half Joey showed his talent. He got the ball in his feet and had only one goal. To score. To do this he first had to pass 3 defenders and a goalkeeper. No sooner said than done. 1-1. A world goal. Still we played sloppy and we could not take control. This put us behind 2-1. Fortunately, Joey was still on the left and he was up for it. Yes, 2-2. Joey van Casand. A nice arc over the goalkeeper. We got stronger.
After the break we didn't get into trouble anymore. We had the initiative and we had opportunities for the 3-2. This fell five minutes before time. You guessed it: Joey. After a good action by Martijn, he could easily tap in an empty goal. 3-2.
Unfortunately we did not play our best game today. Especially in the first and also the second half we were restless and sloppy on the ball. Joey made the difference for us today with 3 goals. Next week we have to get up early because then we play at 9.30 am in Maastricht.
