BBK 5 - 1 Trelleborg Vit - match report

The first game of the autumn series started with a very solid performance from the P-97 team, with a comprehensive 5 - 1 win over Trelleborg Vit.

A key focus area for the team this pre-season has been to increase their fitness levels, with specific focus on cardiovascular drills during pre-season training - including moving from 3 to 4 hours training every week and at least 45min per training session of conditioning drills. This approach seems to be paying off with BBK starting very strongly in the last two games. Within 5 minutes BBK was 1-0 up and the boys were really putting the pressure on the opposition with some excellent aggressive runs from the midfield trio of Emil, Oliver and Linus.

In the few attacks from Trelleborg in the fisrt half, BBK conceded a free kick on the edge of the penalty box, which was skillfully placed to the left of David in goal, to make the score 1-1. The goal seemed to re-energise the team and immediately, BBK took the lead again and by half-time it was 4-1. It could have been more than this, with the Trelleborg goalkeeper pulling off an excellent save from Emil, after cutting down in the penalty box to concede the penalty.

The second half started in the same way as the first, with BBK driving forward and putting Trelleborg Vit on the back foot. This pressure paying off with a fifth goal tap in from Zaak after a great corner from Simon to make the final score 5 – 1.

A major plus point from the game was the coordinated approach from the defensive back line. David with Erik & Elias in front of him played very well, remaining in total control of their defensive zones. The coordination and communication between the three of them was excellent throughout the game, with Erik and Elias providing excellent cover for each other. Their efforts were very well supported by Simon and Adam, who also looked solid and confident in defence.

Moving forward to the next game, we need to continue on build our strong defensive performance and our drive from midfield. One area where we can look to develop further is our passing game, by using the wings more and looking to attack down the line we will be able to really stretch the opposition defence.

Goal scorers: Emil (2), Max (1), Oliver (1), Zaak (1)

Well done boys!
