IK Myran - FC Y T03-04   6 - 3

Teerijärvi

A tough situation before our game in Teerjärvi against IK Myran: only 9 players could come. On top we got 3 D-girls to help us out. Unfortunately, Anna noted during warmup that her foot isn't in playing condition yet. So we had a total of 11 players.

The game started at 20:30 which is really late for a C-juniors game, but there was no other possibility.

IK Myran's main approach to the game were long balls (almost like a 4-0-6 lineup) and unfortunately, after a while they dominated us with this playing style, thus both teams pretty much played only kick and rush most of the time. Only at the beginning and end did we play our own game and during these maybe 30 minutes, we were much better. However, in between we adopted to Myran's style and they were of course much better with their style as it is theirs and not ours. I'd prefer to see all teams trying to learn to play proper football instead of focussing on the result.

Here are some of my notes:

2. First chance for us. Siiri passes to Siina. Her shot misses the goal just slightly.

5. Insecure defense behaviour creates Myran's first chance, but Pinja saves the shot. Her following kick hits at Sofia's back and a quickly reacting striker puts the ball to the empty goal. Luckily, she misses it by a few cm.

7. Siina steals the ball from her opponent and puts a shot to the goal. It also just misses it by a few cm.

9. D-junior Oosa makes a run on the left wing. The following throw-in is put to Siiri who passes flat towards the middle where Siina rushes before her opponent and puts the ball with one touch behind the keeper into the net. 0-1.

13. We start to loose our mojo and stop our technical play. Myran gets their first two corners within only few seconds.

16. Myran pushes us further to the back. Corners 3 and 4 occur, but Pinja eventually boxes the ball away.

20. Corner no. 5.

22. Siina runs alone towards the goal from the middle line, but her shot misses the goal. In the middle, Siiri was freely waiting for a pass.

24. So many high and long balls, my neck is almost hurting from looking up all the time. That's not the kind of football I want to see. Vanhanaikainen tyyli.

32. 6th corner.

38. Nothing noteworthy happening aside from corners. Now it's our first corner. The ball bounces back to Oosa who tries a direct shot from 18 meters. Not bad, but it misses the goal by a few meters.

40. A big defense mistake (why is a central defender actively engaging in a 1v1 at the middle line?) brings a striker towards our goal. The last defender and keeper misinterpret their communicaton and the striker eventually walks with the ball into the empty goal. 1-1. Well, that was needed like a hole in the head.

At halftime, no one could foresee the end result of this game. Myran exploited our lack of players. Not only did we get tired without substitutions, but Kiia's knee also caused troubles which made her not able to run anymore. Thus, we were basically 10v11 in the second half. Of course, if an opponent is clever enough to exploit such situations, they end up as the deserved winner. At the end, it's our own problem if we don't have a full squad available for the season. We can only blame ourselves for it.

41. A fast chance to get ahead again after a double pass between Siiri and Ilona. No luck though.

43. Myran makes it better. An opponent runs away from injured Kiia and is all alone in front of the goal. 2-1.

46. Ronja does an excellent run down the right wing and passes a wonderful pass towards the goal. Siina gets the pass all alone just 2 meters in front of the empty goal. But she only kicks the air and not the ball. What a big chance.

47. Kiia again cannot run with her knee and her opponent runs again alone towards the goal. Pinja does a tremendous save in this difficult 1v1 situation. What a reflex.

51. Our team is completely out of the game now. Stamina issues mixed with injuries and players who play their first 11v11 game ever is a tough combination. Myran's strong players overwhelm us now again and again with pure power.

52. It is just a matter of time until the next goal would come. Luckiy, Pinja shows a couple of unbelieveable reflexes and keeps us in the game.

53. A through pass to Siiri sends her alone to the goal, but the keeper is faster and kicks a very long ball up to our penalty area where a striker almost marks the 3-1. But not yet.

55. Finally a life sign from us again. Oosa and Jakola develop a chance on the left and eventually put the ball into the middle. Suddenly, 4 players are free in the penalty area, but we act too hectically. Siina eventually shoots next to the goal.

57. OK, we are better in the game again. We win the ball from the opponent in the middle. Siina drops it back to Siiri who finishes with a flat shot to the corner. Wonderful goal, 2-2. That's football.

58. Pinja wins a 1v1 for the third time, securing the draw for us.

59. Ronja once again makes a great run on the right wing and passes the ball to the middle. Ilona doesn't hesitate and puts a strong shot under the crossbar. But the tall keeper is able to catch the high ball.

60. Siiri is all through, but gets blocked in the last second. The game now moves back and forth and both teams breathe heavily. Seems like our bad phase is over.

63. Myran scores the 3-2 in best Uwe Seeler style: corner from the right, back of the head lob above the keeper right under the crossbar. You don't see goals like that too often.

67. A too short back pass to the keeper gets intercepted, the striker curves around Pinja and marks the 4-2.

68. Lob above the keeper, 5-2. Well, these were 5 very unlucky minutes for us.

69. Trying to come back. Ilona crosses the ball to Jakola. Shot. Keeper saves.

70. Dejavue: Ronja tanks herself down the right wing and puts a brilliant pass towards the goal. Siina is all alone 2 meters in front of the empty goal and kicks the air again instead of the ball.

71. Another exploitation of our injured player who cannot run with her opponent, 6-2.

73. A back pass is picked up by Myran's keeper with her hands on the goalline. The referee gives free kick from the cross of the goalline and the 5-meter-line and orders all opponents to stay away 9 meters including the keeper. Ronja thus passes the ball to Ilona right in front of her who puts the ball uninterrupted into the empty goal. 6-3. That was a bit of an odd scene.

78. Siiri is again blocked by a defender just before she is about to shoot at the goal.

80. Nice double pass Siiri-Jemina, but the last shot of the game misses the right post.

So much for our trip to Teerjärvi. Very beautiful place. I wished there was a lake in Ylivieska.
