It’s a tough defeat to swallow today for the Expats, as the lads were beaten by Hasle in a game where we were perhaps the better side, showing we can put up a great fight against anybody in the league.
A kit clash meant the lads were forced to play in their away kit — that is, the home kit just turned inside out. Maybe that’s what costed us some focus to start the game, allowing Hasle to go up 2-0 after 15 minutes of play, although both goals came out of thin air. Undeserved for the Expats, who kept fighting and playing good football. Lots of chances were created in the second half, but the crossbar denied both Tom and Santi, and Tom again and Johannes were unlucky in another couple of occasions. But eventually Rui put us back on track thanks to an assist by Tom, and the lads’ hopes got up again, only to be shattered a couple of minutes later, when Hasle was lucky to find a goal on a corner that shouldn’t have been a corner. Luis MOTM with another solid display, but great fight by everybody.
Unlucky day for the lads. We’ll look to get back to winning ways next Monday against JAI. 🦁
