Arlind followed up with another goal before Killian scored the final goal to secure the 3:0 victory. Even though FC Aarau became a little stronger in the second half and tried to build up pressure, the Simpletransfer Academy retained the upper hand. Communication and pressing in particular remained stable even after the goals and helped to save the lead over time.
Conclusion:
The Simpletransfer Academy can be extremely satisfied with its first showcase. The first half in particular was an excellent example of the high tactical level and clear game plan. The second half also showed that the team is capable of taking its chances effectively and increasing the pressure when necessary.
