Scores
Celtic 2 – 0 Ross County
Lightning did not strike twice and the mighty Celtic got their expected win. But hey remember that magic win a few weeks back. Those were the days.
VfB Stuttgart 1 – 0 Freiburg [M]
An early goal for Stuttgart gave them the edge, and with Vincent Grifo cautioned, Freiburg was less aggressive than they had been during their winning streak.
Ross County 0 – 2 St. Mirren
Bright side: County kept a tie game despite being a man down for 60 minutes and two men down for 15!
Downside: County defended poorly enough to have two red cards in one match…why?!?
Elves 0 – 6 Reindeer [North Pole Classico]
Blitzen’s aggressive defense and the front two of Dasher and Comet continued to make the annual 5-a-side friendly a mismatch. Also, an elf in goal just doesn’t seem fair.
News & Notes
Team of the Year
While we spent most of the year in deep and abiding gratitude for Rosenborg’s attacking force, it was their defense that got them national recognition this week. Two members of the side were named to the NorskeFotballKvinner’s 2020 Team of the year. RBK’s Midfielders, Emile Joramo and Cesilie Andreassen won the recognition.
The official league wide 2020 team included Cesilie and, our favorite teen idol: Julie Blakstad
Player of the Week
It feels weird to award a County defender after a pair of 2-0 defeats, but given that Alex Iacovitti got the best marks of any player in action this week, he wins thanks to the two sweetest syllables in the English language De-Fault
