Here is our story.
The Men's team played 3 games in the group stage the first day of the tournament, beating EADA (Spain) 2-1, tying IESE (Spain) 1st Year 1-1, and then finally beating INSEAD (France) 3-1. It was a tough game day, especially because teams were playing very physical, but we stuck to our strategy and playing a very offensive and tactical games.
Our point scores helped us move to the Semifinals, in which we faced IESE Year 2 team and defending champions. These were 90 hard minutes for our team. A mistake in the midfield cost us an IESE goal. They led the game 1-0 until five minutes until the end of the match, when one of our players scored the tying goal from the midfield. The ball flew in the air going out of reach from the goalie and coming into the goal on the upper right post, an amazing goal.
We moved on to penalties, in which unfortunately we lost. We missed two penalties, the last coming after our goalkeeper stop one of the IESE penalty kicks.
No team beat us during match time, which give us enough confidence that we will do great at the Paris Tournament coming next week. We hope to play more solidly and score many more goals than before.
On the women's team, we are proud to say that they crowned themselves as the Champions!!!!!, They got the 1st place after beating the likes of IESE, EADA, INSEAD, etc. They won every game played, having a clear advantage over the rival teams in technique and physical endurance.
Next for the IE FC Teams will be to face the MBA Tournament starting the 7th of May at HEC school near Paris, hoping all of our teams will perform much better this time.
We want to thank Gatorate for sponsoring our fluid replenishment, which we are sure played a crucial role in the matches.
The wrinkled IE Flag has to go.
