Football match

The “IGS Selection” is picking up speed!
Only ten minutes left on the clock! A game at a very high footballing level is entering its final phase. The team around captain Minh and striker Luong had already combined dangerously in front of the opposing goal several times. Suddenly a nasty foul in the penalty area – penalty for the “IGS Selection”! Paul of all people, the youngest player in the team, is motivated by his teammates to play and converts confidently. 
Unfortunately it is only one of the three needed to equalise and ends the game with the final score. Nevertheless, the IGS football team, which has been growing strongly in recent months and consists of students from grades 7-11, showed a disciplined performance and gave the opponent a difficult afternoon in the friendly game on June 1st.
The opponents were a selection of players from  the European International School – a team with a long tradition and therefore much more experience. This is one of the reasons why the result can definitely be booked as a success for the “IGS Selection” and motivates the players for future challenges. But the incredibly high level of fan support also shows that such sporting events, especially football, are met with great enthusiasm and should therefore be supported as best as possible. 
A number of teachers, students and friends accompanied the team and did everything they could to support it, especially loudly. More of this, please – that’s how football is fun!
