Match report: Blentarps BK vs. BK Höllviken vit (1 – 3)

The P97 team played their fourth game of the autumn campaign. Going into the game the boys knew it was going to be a tough game, with Höllviken scoring 12 goals in the last two games. Therefore, BBK started with a slightly more defensive formulation with Oliver playing in front of the back two.

As expected it was a tough game, with Höllviken coming out on top with a 1 – 3 win. Höllviken played with great discipline passing the ball around throughout the game to keep posession, resulting in BBK often chasing the game.

There was very little between the two teams. However, unlike the previous games BBK failed to create many clear cut chances, mainly due to poor movement off the ball. In many situations the BBK players with the ball had little passing options, due to players around them remaining static and not running into a space to receive the ball. Ironically, when BBK did get their passing game together they scored and almost scored. But BBK’s passing game was very rare, due to the lack of movement off the ball, often resulting in BBK trying to dribble through the Höllviken players with poor results.

Despite taking the lead during the game, Höllviken scored almost immediately to make the score 1-1. After their goal Höllviken passed the ball very well and kept possession, with the BBK players often chasing the game.

The main frustration for BBK was that the P97 team was in relative control of the game throughout the 80 minutes, however against a well organised and technically gifted team we were unable to penetrate their defence to great effect. This result in BBK resorting to holding onto the ball too long and trying to dribble the ball into the goal.

The game finished 1 -3, BBK’s firstly defeat of the season. However, on a positive note we know what we didn’t do and this will be a key focus for the next game against Torna Hällestads IF on Sunday (away).'

We move on and must learn the lessons from this game! Sunil
