A very unpleasant afternoon

A poor advertisement for the Cosmoleague. A very tense game leading to a lots of talking, teasing, provocation from both teams this resulting in a poor football display, 1 red card, 1 penalty and 1 broken leg for Rob. We wish you a speedy recovery. OG took the lead early in the game from a good play involving a few players and a nice assist from Leo and a good finish from Iss. Nippon came back and soon after took the lead just before half time to make it 2-1. They scored again 15min in the second half and probably though the game was over as they had the luxury of missing the unmissable couple of times. We managed to fight back and Rob then Ifan equalized for us with 15min to go. The game turned when Rob son was tackled and broke his leg. With no more sub we had to finish the game with 10 players. But most importantly we hope he will recover soon. Nippon took the lead again but we did not give up and managed to get a penalty (+red card) as a Nippon grabbed the shirt of Remi who was going in a 1vs1. Mab converted the penalty to give us 1 un expected point at this stage of the game. A poor OG performance who was very surprised by the spirit the Nippon put into the game. Credits to them at some point for playing with the english fighting spirit. We on our side forgot to setup after opening the score.
