Match Report

Red Star yesterday won the first international match of the season in bright sunshine. One week before the start of the championship, Red Star invited the runners up of the London League. Arriving the same day of the match, the English seemed somewhat distracted.

Already, international meetings attract the crowds in Saint-Ouen.
Red Star Amical Club once had a reputation of always dominating their opponents but failing to win. Now it's the opposite. And it seems that in the next season, it's players will be known for their perseverance, because their opponents can be more scientific or skilful. Thus, yesterday the Prime international game played this season in the Paris region was won by Red Star over London Hampstead FC.

After Maes, who has perhaps learned nothing, but neither has he forgotten anything, had scored a goal after five minutes, the
English team's beautiful passing game worked to the benefit of their center forward, but however he missed his shot. The centre-half was given the task to "mark Maes" and acquitted himself very honestly. But the weakness of the back and goalkeeper were taken advantage of by the Parisians, which allowed them to score four goals during the first half.

After the break, the game was more equal, although the English had the wrong place even they threatened but could not finished their chances. By contrast, Red Star, who were able to create less, ended up better and scored a fifth. What a beautiful beginning which indicates good things for the coming season. For no accident comes little compromise, we hope they are fine games.
