Friendlies part two
The fifth friendly game we had was against a very strong Blackpool side. This was maybe one of the hardest teams the club had faced in its history, so nothing was expected. Amazingly, we took the lead after only 15 minutes, goal coming from Daan De Pever. The team held well defencivally, and went into the break 1-0 up. However, a phenomenal win didn't look to be on the cards as in the 53rd minute Blackpool scored an equaliser. Only 10 minutes later, ex Stoke ST Ricardo Fuller made it 1-2, and this would be how it finished.
Final score:
Visé 1-2 Blackpool
The game after was against Third division side Patro Eisden. Although in a lower division, they looked to have an equally strong squad, so it could be a close encounter. We took the lead early, in the 8th minute, courtesy of Bosko Balaban. 10 minutes later the lead was doubled by Daan De Pever. Patro hit on a counter in the 26th minute, and finished one of little chances. Just before the break Balaban got his second of the game to give us a comfortable 3-1 HT win. The first goal of the second half went to our opposition in the 53rd minute, again Ubachs.However, only a minute later we scored again through Vaccaro! The fast paced drama continued as they added to their fast growing tally yet again in the 60th minute. Vaccaro got his 2nd of the game in the 64th minute, and then the game seemed to die out, resulting in a 5-3 victory.
Final Score:
Visé 5-3 Patro Eisden
The third and final game was against French side Sedan Ardennes. The game started out rather slowly, without any sort of action up until the first goal in the 23rd minute, unfortunately going to our opposition. 9 minutes later we managed to grab an equaliser through Balaban, and we seemed to build some momentum from this. The sides went into HT at one all, but we had looked to dominate. Straight after the break we took the lead, goal scored by Etien Aka. We scored the final goal of the game in the 72nd minute through new signing Terki.
Final Score:
Visé 3-1 Sedan Ardennes
