Lisse claimed a 4:2 victory against Aalsmeer in a Club Friendly on August 18, 2026. The hosts took the points comfortably after a strong showing. It was a clear statement of intent following their recent struggles.
They arrived with confidence after a 4:0 win over TOGB on August 8. To be fair, that performance followed a difficult run against ADO '20. They had lost both previous meetings with the side 0:1 and 0:2. Those results had highlighted a lack of goals. The victory over TOGB showed they could score.
The scoreline reflected an open afternoon. Lisse put four past the visitors while Aalsmeer scored twice in reply. There were no disciplinary issues to interrupt the flow of play.
And here's the thing with these warm-up games, the intensity is often lacking. You see players trying new positions rather than defending a lead. The margin of two goals suggests Lisse were comfortably in control. Aalsmeer will need to tighten up their structure quickly.
By then, the coaching staff had likely noted the defensive vulnerabilities shown by Aalsmeer. The hosts had not scored in three matches prior to the TOGB result. This outing offers a chance to build confidence again.
The result leaves Lisse in a positive position for the upcoming season. Aalsmeer will have to work on their defence at the back. The visitors cannot expect to concede so easily in competitive fixtures. It is a lesson learned before the real work begins.
