Final 3.
NEC out. Bad weather lots of rain and the question is will it continue. The main field is disapproved because the artificial turf bulges up due to a lot of water. We had to move to field 3. Today we have to be there or the deficit will become too big. We started the game with concentration. There were no real chances for either team, but to be honest, we had the better ones. But it is and remains a somewhat messy game and the decisions of everyone are not always the best. Even the management is not always right.
The break goes into halftime with the familiar glasses position. The good thing is that at the start of the game the rain has stopped. After halftime we want to do things better and take the points on the bus. After about ten minutes in the second half, Dante manages to reach the head of Matthias with a nice free kick and he heads the ball brilliantly into the ropes. We want to push on and chances do come. But the aluminum stands in the way of a second goal. Towards the end of the game NEC started an offensive and we were forced back into our half. In the last minute, a cross was very long and the NEC attackers reacted better than we did and the ball was headed in. 1 - 1. Just to take a point. In minute 93 the exact same situation is the cause of yet another free kick which again is on its way for a long time to our goal and again a header is the result and we are down 2 - 1.
Unnecessarily three points given away.

Next week a practice match against NAC. After that, final four against AJAX.
The big positive of this Saturday is that despite this afternoon's defeat we have not fallen further behind the leaders and the difference is still the same.
So again, every disadvantage has its advantage.
As far as you participate in it: Happy carnival days.
Goodbye.
