Lisse and Franche-Montagne met in the MySports League on Tuesday evening, and the visitors came away with a 4:5 victory. The result leaves both sides still searching for consistency after three matches each.
There are no detailed events to follow, so the match unfolded as a back-and-forth affair with goals coming at either end. And here's the thing — nine goals in one game is not something you see every week. Things came to a head in the second half when the balance shifted.
By then, Lisse had been chasing the game after going behind. They never got out of second gear, pushing for an equaliser until the final whistle. To be fair, Franche-Montagne weathered the storm and held on.
We had called an away win before kickoff, 69% confidence. The visitors showed enough composure to take their chances when they appeared. It was not a dominant display, but it was decisive.
Both sides sit on zero points from three games — two wins, one loss for Lisse, one win, two losses for Franche-Montagne. The table has barely taken shape, so the standings tell us very little.
What matters is that Franche-Montagne ended a run of two defeats. Lisse, meanwhile, have now lost two of their last three and will want to find their rhythm soon.
