This day will go down in the history of the ESADE vs. IESE soccer rivalry. Today ESADE beat IESE in soccer for the first time ever.
As the 19th MBATournament (MBAT) at HEC in Paris, France, is coming up soon (7-10 May 2009), ESADE and IESE decided to play a friendly soccer match today at 14h at Can Caralleu. ESADE was clearly the underdog as they hadnever trained together, players were absent and they had never won a match against IESE and therefore this day was not very promising. When the players of ESADE slowly trickled in, was the IESE team already in the midst of doing a nicely coordinated warm-up, dressed in IESE uniforms and union. Intimated? No need!
The first half was a bit rough when IESE led by 2:0 however the ESADE team found its unity and strength shortly afte and powered through the second half. Well what is there to say and I rather let the final score speak for itself:
ESADE vs. IESE 3:2
It seems that uniforms, weekly training and a coach don’t make a good team when you lack talent ;)Good job, ESADE!! May the skill be with you at the MBAT!!
