Uninspiring Belgium Red Lions lose to Argentina

B9729947125Z.1 20220213085018 000GJ3JSUNTM.1 0 - Uninspiring Belgium Red Lions lose to Argentina - The Red Lions could not impose their game and lacked a bit of percussion to really worry the Leones. But in the 10th minute, on their first shot on goal, Sebastien Dockier deflected a backhand shot from Cédric Charlier into the back of the net. The second quarter was hardly more inspired. It lacked structure and regularity. But also, sometimes, concentration to gain the upper hand over the Argentines despite a domination in the statistics (64% possession, 2 pc, 12 circle entries and 6 shots on goal).

The Netherlands has recovered well from the bad day against France last Wednesday. In Potchefstroom, the third three-pointer of this Pro League season was taken against host country South Africa. Orange triumphed with big numbers: 2-6. Admittedly, the poster is not enough to fill a book with. Certainly not in the knowledge that the Orange squad crushed the […]
