SC Kittsee triumphs over FC Monchof before end of summer party
Published September 9, 2022
It was an important victory as the End of Summer Party followed the game.
The newcomers like Adam Bombicz, Mustafa Atik and Roman Tarek have added much to the team, while Jozef Sombat continues to shine. SC Kittsee had many good chances (as the photos show) and FC Monchof had few. Still the team kept us anxious to the end, by holding just a single goal lead.
