“It’s all gone quiet over there, IT’S ALL GONE QUIET OVER THERE!” (Svenningsen, 2019)

After another victory last week, ConchAttach looked to extend their lead at the top of the league with another impressive performance against a very talented Galatasaray side. George lead the opposition side in great style in the first half, and were far more organised in comparison to the first time the two sides met at the beginning of the season. Galatasaray took the lead quite early on, and were giving the Concha boys a lot of problems in defence. They then extended their lead to 0-2 with some neat play from their forward players. However, ConchAttack started to play there freeflowing brand of football, and scored a superb “team goal” with Erik linking up with Sebastian on the halfway line, and Erik finishing in style in the bottom right corner.

Half Time – 1-2

After a stern team talk from Coach Griffiths (Pep), the boys came flying out for the second half, with a re-energised attitude. Masanobu, Erik and Sebastian immediately started to cause problems for the Galatasaray defence, and Leonardo and Maxim were becoming far more organised and composed in defence. It didn’t take long for our superstar forward, Masanobu to get on the scoresheet. (2-2) The boys were then in complete control, and rarely lost possession of the football. Masanobu won a freekick on the edge of the area, and Maxim blasted the ball into the top right corner, giving the ConchAttack team a 2-3 lead, with only 3 minutes remaining. In the last minute, Masanobu again gave the opposition nightmares, and managed to round the keeper and score to make the final score 2-4. A very hard earned victory against a good side and a very respectful group of boys!
