Swift Hesperange 1-0 Rosport
GK: Oster
D: Scholer, Heinz, Loose, Bernard
M: Rakic, Pazos, Leweck, Ferreira
ST: Bozic, Schiltz
We traveled to Hesperange and played a sloppy, unremarkable game against a side who is good enough to make us pay for it. We conceded an early goal, a nice strike by a talented midfielder named Pit Hilbert, and couldn't equalize.
Our best chance came right before the half, when Christophe Pazos's penalty kick was turned back by the Swift goalkeeper, Marc Pliemling.
Yannick Loose (8.0) earned Man of the Match in a losing effort. He played a solid game all night, and he saved us a goal by heading a shot off the line at the hour mark.
Our loss dropped us to third, behind Mamer, who are unbeaten, and Rumelange, whom we're behind on goal differential despite beating them 3-0.
Here are the ruins of a castle outside Hesperange that was probably built in the early 1200s. We seemed to think it was built in front of Swift's goal tonight.
