Villem II claimed a 2-1 win over OHI Krit in a Club Friendly on Friday, 1 August 2026, in a match that swung from command to crisis in the closing stages. The hosts, who had looked comfortable after two early strikes, found themselves chasing the game once OHI Krit pulled one back deep into stoppage time. And here's the thing, the result came despite OHI Krit holding 60 per cent of possession and registering 87 attacks to Villem II's 61.
Villem II opened the scoring in the seventh minute and doubled their advantage six minutes later, to be fair capitalising on an OHI Krit side that had yet to find its rhythm. The visitors, who had lost their last outing 4-0 to G Advan Eagles, struggled to break down a compact home defence and managed just four corners in the entire contest. By the time the thirteenth minute arrived, the match seemed settled in Villem II's favour.
But by then, OHI Krit had found their feet. The away side, who had also dropped points in a 3-2 defeat to NAC Breda on their most recent outing, began to press with purpose. Their 87 attacks told the story of a team searching for a way back, and they finally found it in the eighty-ninth minute when a late goal gave them a lifeline. It was a moment that, while it didn't change the outcome, spoke to a side unwilling to accept a defeat so easily.
The statistics painted a familiar picture: OHI Krit dominated possession and territory, but Villem II were more efficient with what they had. The home side registered 61 attacks and kept a clean sheet, while their opponents' 87 efforts yielded just one goal. Neither side received cards, and the only blemish on Villem II's record was two offside calls. And here's the thing, pre-season friendlies rarely reflect the true balance of power — they reveal character.
For Villem II, the result came after a mixed run of form, including a 2-2 draw with Eindhoven and a 1-2 loss to Quick Boys. OHI Krit's recent results have been uneven at best, with only one win in their last five friendlies against Volos NFC. The final scoreline of 2-1 may not tell the whole story, but it confirmed that Villem II's early dominance was enough to see them through, even if the visitors refused to go quietly.
