Alduria vs. Craitland friendly (12/06)
*Played 12th June*
Alduria 3-2 Craitland
6' - Á. Carrasco
42' - H. Zensen
60' - T. Modrem
84' - F. Bousquet
90' - W. Zóma
Alduria's first international brought about a first win in impressive style against Craitland. Following the spiritual line of the Caputian team which struggled in this year's qualifiers before its demise, Alduria needed not to wait long for their opening goal. A swift ball over the Craitish defence by Tamer Modrem found his former-Alexandrian teammate Álexis Carrasco running through, and the forward took just two touches to control the ball and knock it past the closing Jamie Vallensen. An otherwise closely-matched first half was devoid of chances up until a few minutes before the break, when the visitors found an equaliser through Hänä Zensen. A move forward by right-back Daniel Hjansen saw the ball crossed in from the byline before evading the defence and dropping to Zensen, who made no mistake in powerfully sidefooting home through the crowd for his 20th international goal.
After the recess, Alduria were noticeably the more cohesive side, which garnered much vocal support from the crowds gathered in Narbonne. A quarter of an hour after the restart, during which Vallensen was kept on his toes, provider Modrem turned scorer himself. Jean-Pierre d'Oliviera's meander into the box was ended with a blocked shot which Modrem was in the prime spot to repossess, and the midfielder drilled the ball home from outside the box into the bottom-right. Changes from the bench kept the Aldurians' attack fresh, with Javier de la Fuente down the wing and François Bousquet replacing Modrem troubling the Craitish defenders, with the latter of the pair making it three in style with under ten minutes to go. A foul on Andrew Miller outside the box set-up the midfielder to strike a perfect free-kick into the top-left of the 'keeper's net from roughly twenty yards out, leaving the wall paralysed. The Craits managed to pull the deficit back just as injury time began, however, through a Will Zóma header from close range after strong wide play from Juan Pellegrino made room to deliver a teasing cross for the stooping striker.
Zóma became the fourth Crait to hit the thirty-goal mark in internationals, but his personal achievement was marred by the result, with the team's preparations for Birgeshir not off to the best start. They play Lakkvia in a week's time on home soil with hope of a better outcome. Alduria on the other hand will be proud of their début, even with their players' collective wealth of experience with other nations, and a win like this will instil some national pride in the young nation just finding its feet since its foundation on Micras.
Alduria's players swarm around Álexis Carrasco after scoring the nation's first ever goal.

Ok,that was unexpected but I see the shadow of Alexandria behind this team,meaning that they will probably be a pain in the ass in the near future
