What was meant to be a routine pre-season warm-up became a statement of intent from Roda JC, who showcased their attacking firepower from the first whistle.

Tactical Story

Roda JC deployed an aggressive high press that Chevremont could not cope with. The amateur side rarely kept possession for more than a few passes, and every turnover led to a dangerous attack. Roda’s full-backs pushed high, creating overloads on the wings, while their midfielders made late runs into the box that Chevremont’s defence failed to track. The scoreline could have been even greater had Roda not taken their foot off the gas in the final 15 minutes.

Standout Players

• Roda JC’s No. 10: Orchestrated the play, providing three assists and scoring once.
• Roda JC’s striker: Bagged a hat-trick, constantly finding space in the box.
• VV Chevremont’s goalkeeper: Despite conceding ten, made several fine saves to prevent an even more humiliating defeat.

Friendly Implications

For Roda JC, this result builds confidence ahead of their league opener. Manager said post-match, “We wanted intensity and goals, and we got that. But we must stay grounded.” For VV Chevremont, the match was a harsh lesson but also a valuable experience against professional opposition. They will look to recover in their remaining pre-season fixtures.
