Residency Valferdangh beat Hostert 3-2 in the opening Regular Season match of the National Division on 2 August 2026. P. Macedo scored twice and V. Ballicalioglu struck twice, giving the hosts their third win in six games.
Macedo opened the scoring in the 21st minute, and here's the thing — it was the kind of moment that keeps you watching rather than checking your phone. Ballicalioglu doubled the lead before half-time with two goals in quick succession, the first at 40 minutes and the second at 44.
Hostert responded after the break. Macedo added a second of his own in the 56th minute, and by then the visitors had turned the game on its head with 57 per cent possession and 105 attacks compared to 78. Ballicalioglu restored the lead with his second, and Macedo wrapped it up in the 84th minute.
The statistics tell a story the result does not quite capture. Hostert threw 105 attacks at the goal and won seven corners to three, yet the home side punished them with clinical finishing. Three yellow cards for the hosts against four for the visitors said nothing about who controlled the tempo.
Both sides now sit on nine points after six matches, Residency in seventh and Hostert in sixth. The gap between them is negligible, and this result suggests the table will not hold still for long.
