The women won a great victory at Toftum
(Translated to english with the use of chat.openai.com)
On the evening, the women played a match at Toftum. It was nice to see that several spectators had made their way to Svangaskarð to watch. Especially the U16 girls are quick and agile. We were excited to get back on the field and wash away the heavy defeat from the cup competition.
Starting lineup:
Olga Torkilsdóttir - Gunnrið á Lakjuni, Marta S. Thomsen, Sigrid Petersen, Jónfríð Olsen - Mary-Ann Zachariassen, Glæma Petersen, Annika Christiansen, Erla K. Róin, Jenny R Petersen - Kristina F. Obradovic
Substitutes: Karin Rygshamar, Jenny á Lakjuni, Marna Klein, Mirjam Fagrá, Birita L. Haraldsen.
From the first whistle, we put pressure on the game, and 3 minutes into the match, we get a corner. Mary-Ann is set to shoot, aiming straight for Marta, who has moved forward because as we know, that's dangerous. Mary-Ann shoots towards Marta, but the ball goes just past her and into Kristina's leg and into the goal. 0-1 for us. 5 minutes later, Kristina is on the ball again, and with a great long shot, she increases the lead to 0-2. 15 minutes have passed, and Mary-Ann makes a run down the left side, delivering a low cross, which Jenny RP fails to connect with, but luckily Erla is right behind Jenny and can place the ball untouched into the goal. Then the unfortunate happens, they launch an attack, a lofted ball is played into the box, and there's a B68 player who directs the ball into the goal, 1-3. But we don't let our heads drop, we keep going forward, passing the ball around in their defense, and Jónfríð, who later ends up injured 5 minutes later, plays a ball forward to Mary-Ann, who creates a solo effort in the middle of the field, dribbling past 4 B68 players and neatly placing the ball into the goal, 1-4. The rest of the half is fairly even.
In the halftime, we talk about how we need to come out just as strong in the second half as we started the match. In the second half, we have the wind against us, so it's more effective to play through balls into the B68 defense. And that's exactly how the goal for 1-5 comes. Mary-Ann, who had a great game, plays a brilliant through ball between the center-back and the right-back, which Jenny RP runs onto and blasts into the net. A fantastic goal. 68 minutes gone, Annika, who has also had a great match, catches a ball in midfield, pushes forward a bit, plays a pass to Mary-Ann, and once again, Mary-Ann places the ball into the net from the left side, 1-6. The 1-7 goal follows the same recipe, Annika wins a ball in midfield, plays it to Mary-Ann, who makes a run down the left side, delivers a low cross, and again, Kristina is in the right place and puts her foot on the ball, 1-7, completing a hat-trick for Kristina, who has been moved forward in the attack this year after spending most of her career in midfield. 80 minutes gone, and as if it's not enough, Annika wins a ball inside their half, goes left, beats 3 B68 players, and shoots towards the goal, but the wind changes the direction of the ball, making it go the other way. The B68 goalkeeper is ready to collect the ball, but in a flash, Kristina comes in front of her and taps the ball into the net, 1-8.
In the 84th minute, Jenny RP makes a run down the left side, crosses the ball, and Birita, who came on as a substitute in the midfield in the second half, runs onto it and safely puts the ball into the net, making the final score 1-9.
The next match will be on May 14th, in Fløtugerði, against Víkingur.
