FC Rosengård - Blentarps BK (2-5) : match report

BBK’s third game of the series was against FC Rosengård and like the previous game vs. Anderslöv it proved to be a close game for the majority of the 80 minutes. And like the previous games BBK started the better of the two teams by taking an early lead, this time through Jonte with a simple tap. However, despite a number chances BBK failed to extend their lead and ultimately paid the price with Rosengård equalizing to make it 1-1.

Rosengård had a clear game plan to pass through our midfield by playing the long ball game. It took some time for BBK to adjust to their play, with Elias and Erik dropping a little deeper in central defence. By half-time BBK had regained the lead with literally the last touch of the ball with Emil sliding the ball into the net under the advancing goalkeeper. So it was 1-2 at half-time.

The second half started with Oliver in central midfield playing a more defensive role, sitting in front of the two central to provide extra cover for the long balls being played by Rosengård. This tactic worked well, enabling BBK to play more of the ball out to the wings.

As Rosengård began to tire in the second half BBK began to take control of the game, making several fast breaks down the wings & centre, often resulting in BBK out numbering the Rosengård defence. Despite BBK making many chances to score, poor finishing let the boys down. However, it was only a matter of time before the continued pressure would pay off. Again, Emil with his electric pace ran at the Rosengård defence scoring 4 goals in the second half! The pick of the Emil’s goals being a nice interplay with Toby down the left wing, before Emil cooling slotting the ball goal bound. If it was not for the heroics of the Rosengård goalkeeper the score would have been much higher than the 2-5 result.

Despite the win, Rosengård looked dangerous on set pieces especially on corners, where the BBK players seemed to ball watch and not attack the ball to clear it from their goal line. Something to work on in training :-)

The win makes it 3 wins out of 3 games, with the next game against BK Höllviken vit. The win puts BBK top of the table. Looking at BK Höllviken vit’s results so far, next week’s game will prove to be a close affair, with home advantage potentially being very important.

Good job! Sunil / Micke
