Match report: BBK vs. Anderslövs BoIK (3-1)

It was time for the second game of the season for the BBK P-97 team and it certainly proved to be an eventful game, and not just for the football.

After a break of 2 weeks without a competitive game there was always a worry that the boys would have a slow start. However, this was not the case and the team started very positively, much of this down to the hard work the boys are putting on their fitness and strength during in training.

BBK started in familiar fashion with the players in their usual positions, except for Hampus and Zaak who switched wings. The reason for this was to use the wingers to cut inside much more to link up with the midfield players.

As in the last game the defensive back line played extremely well holding their positions and keeping their structure throughout the game. They were well supported by Johan in goal, who was alert and talking to the players throughout the game. This confidence moved up the team and throughout the game, with BBK limiting the number chances for Anderslöv. Like the last two games BBK started the game strongly and went into the lead halfway through the first half with a superb individual goal by Emil, as he weaved and dribbled through the Anderslöv defence.

Unfortunately, due to one lack of concentration (the only one in the whole game) Anderslöv were able to equalise with an unopposed shot in the lower left corner. So at half time it was 1-1 and the game was very tight.

Second half started well for BBK, the boys coming out much stronger than the opposition. This continued pressure on the Anderslöv players paying off with a superb strike from Emil to make it 2-1. This sparked the opposition into life, however in the wrong way.

Due to indiscipline from the Anderslöv players, Anderslöv had two players sent off in quick succession for back chatting to the referee and for an over aggressive challenge. This resulted in the opposition losing their shape and BBK took full advantage of this with 10 mins to go. Hampus ran on to a great through ball from Oliver, and Hampus coolly chipped the ball over the oncoming goalkeeper.

The game finished 3-1 to BBK. The key highlights of the game were that the P97 team kept their shape throughout the game and remained disciplined. Another major plus was that the team made good use the wing players to spread the play. It seemed the boys could have played for another 80mins!!!

Well done. Sunil / Micke
