The training exercises started a little bit slow. Even though they just did a bit of training, the players were still somewhat tired from it so they took a little bit of time to walk off the light fatigue they were feeling and truly get into their rhythm for the match.
As expected, it was the team filled with the first team players that struck first. Biereth came deep to receive the ball in the middle of the pitch and with his first touch, he sent a pass to the left flank, towards George who got the ball under control with his first touch and started running down the flank.
When he got to the edge of the opposition penalty area, he took on the fullback marking him, but instead of trying to dribble into he box, he sent a through pass to his fullback who made an overlapping run to the ball and sent a cross into the box.
