Cruel


Losing a match in the dying seconds is cruel. When you're new in the first division, you've got ambition but you're not sure that you can cope with the higher level, you open against the champions (the biggest club in Belgium), you build, you play easy and chrystal clear football, the atmosphere sends shivers down your spine, it's 0-0, you've been out there for 91 minutes and some seconds, your team plays a perfect match, 0-0, enormous achievement, smiling faces everywhere, you are about to kiss your neighbour, but than ...
There's Biglia's freekick. He hits it perfect. Wasilewski touches it with a subtle header. Adamovic is too late. It's 0-1 and it's all over.
