Game Report

The first 20 minutes of the match saw a battle in the midfield, with Zebetin holding the upper hand. They were able to break through the defense 3-4 times, while on the other side, the B team struggled with the final pass and finishing with few exceptions.

Right from the start, the game was intense, with a referee who allowed the game to get aggressive, letting the game continue without much stoppage. This did not lead to a proper flow though. It wasn't until the 30th minute that the visitors scored, after we lost the ball too easily in midfield, allowing their striker to finish from close range.

Zebetin wasted no time in adding another goal. After a long ball—one of their preferred tactics—they found the net with a half-volley just outside the box.

In one of the few successful counterattacks for the B team, Alejandro was fouled by the goalkeeper, resulting in a penalty. Unfortunately, Asmet's attempt was saved, with the goalkeeper redeeming himself for the earlier foul.

Second half

Instead of going into halftime just one goal down, the B team found themselves having to claw back a two-goal deficit in the second half. The positive momentum from a brief 10-minute spell before halftime didn't carry over, and the team struggled with possession, leading to a more frantic, disorganized style of play.

In a crucial moment, a pass back to our goalkeeper Oli was mishandled, and he failed to clear it effectively. The wake-up call came too late. Following a triple substitution in the 70th minute, the B team applied more pressure, and in the 75th minute, a fortunate but well-deserved goal from Seb, who lobbed the ball over the goalkeeper from distance, got them back in the game.

Chingiz made his mark with a header in the 85th minute, scoring his debut goal. A third goal seemed possible with a few more minutes, but unfortunately, the 90 minutes ran out too soon.
