Showcase FC St. Gallen U19
The Simpletransfer Academy’s second showcase took place against the U19s of FC St. Gallen – a team that boasted an extremely strong squad, including players from the 1st division. The match, which was played in cold November temperatures, offered exciting duels and many good moments on both sides, but ended goalless at 0:0.
About the game:
The Simpletransfer Academy put in another strong performance and impressed throughout the game with good attacking soccer and a solid defense. Martim, who impressed as a full-back and repeatedly created danger with his dynamic offensive actions, was particularly noteworthy. Salah also put his qualities to the fore and earned himself a transfer to FC Wil’s U18s after the game with his performance. It was clear that the team was made up of the academy’s best talents, all of whom showed their skills.
Simpletransfer had some great chances in the first half, but were unable to capitalize on them. The cold and the intense duels on the pitch made it difficult to find the necessary precision in the decisive moments. FC St. Gallen, although they also had some promising situations, were also unable to convert their chances. Despite their best efforts, neither team was able to score and the score remained 0-0 at half-time.
Final phase:
The game also increased in intensity in the final minutes. In stoppage time, Emre had a good opportunity to decide the game with a free kick, but his shot went just wide of the goal. This final action mirrored the whole game: an exciting, intense match in which both teams fought hard for victory but ultimately missed the goal.
Conclusion:
Despite the goalless result, the Simpletransfer Academy can be very satisfied with their performance. The team showed strong tactical discipline, especially in dealing with the physically and technically strong players from St. Gallen. The many big chances must be better exploited in the next showcase, but the team spirit, good communication and the individual performance of many players, especially Martim and Salah, were clear plus points. The 0-0 draw against an U19 team with 1st division players is a strong result and underlines the potential of the academy.
