Match report

Valkeik saw off Kyffisia 3-0 in a Club Friendlies fixture on 2 August, taking control early and never looking back. The hosts were clinical in front of goal, converting three chances into a comfortable margin of victory. By then, the Dutch side had already established themselves as the dominant force on the pitch.

The opening goal came in the eighth minute, catching Kyffisia off guard before they could settle into their shape. Valkeik's attack moved with purpose, and the finish was sharp enough to silence any lingering doubts. The visitors had barely adjusted to the tempo when they found themselves a goal down.

Forty-seven minutes later, a second strike doubled the advantage. Valkeik sat deep and soaked it up when Kyffisia pushed forward, then struck on the counter. And here's the thing — the away side had more attacks on record, but Valkeik made theirs count.

The third goal arrived in the eighty-fourth minute, a late flourish to cement the result. Kyffisia's defence had been stretched all evening, and a third failure to contain the danger proved decisive. The hosts ran riot in the final quarter, turning what was already comfortable into something emphatic.

Valkeik held 54 per cent possession against 65 away attacks, but quality over quantity told. The visitors claimed eleven corners to five, yet failed to test the keeper consistently. Kyffisia picked up two yellow cards while the hosts remained clean, a reflection of discipline on both sides.

Kyffisia's recent results show a side still finding form — draws with Westerlo and RAAL La Louvière, but also a heavy 2-4 defeat to De Graafschap. Valkeik came off a 1-2 loss to Patro Eisden on 29 July, but this performance suggested a team tightening things up before the season proper begins.
