UNITED 0 - 6 MoonDogs (174669077)

10811 punters turned up at BAD BOYZ UNITED Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Fergus Melhuish was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lars Gern and Ariel Zuckerman. UNITED decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Irons - Ambler, Parks, Mackenzie, Matthews - Boyd, MacInroy, Tansley, McPherson - Wilding, Eaton.

MoonDogs had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Wegert - Qvist, Joannou, Barnard - Grenmo, Amorena, Ekstål, Alexandersson, Leerman - Meiser, Horner.

MoonDogs were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. MoonDogs's A. Qvist scored to make the score 0 - 1 after 15 minutes by shooting accurately and hard from a long distance, leaving the opponent keeper no other option than to pick the ball out of the net. The home keeper was stunned 19 minutes into the match when he misjudged the free kick by A. Qvist and dived in the wrong direction. The visitors increased the lead to 0 - 2. The home crowd was not impressed when A. Qvist came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 22 minutes. MoonDogs were now up 0 - 3. This third goal completed a hattrick for A. Qvist. The players of MoonDogs now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The referee showed MoonDogs's P. Leerman the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, B. Joannou would have put MoonDogs up another goal 32 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. After 34 minutes, MoonDogs's G. Horner burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 4. UNITED's A. McPherson was shown a yellow card after 37 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4. MoonDogs enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 74 percent of possession.

An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 56 minutes into the match, putting MoonDogs ahead 0 - 5. A. Qvist was the scorer. MoonDogs's G. Horner got himself booked for a foul. After 74 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave S. Meiser a chance to increase the lead for MoonDogs, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 6. UNITED's T. Irons had a nice free kick routine after 78 minutes that was very close to paying off, had it not been for a dramatic save by the visitors' keeper. With 79 minutes played, C. Boyd of UNITED fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. After the ball was lifted in from the left, P. Leerman was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 81 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. With 82 minutes played, B. Tansley of UNITED fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. 83 minutes into the game, MoonDogs worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by MoonDogs, with 77 percent of the ball.

T. MacInroy performed admirably for UNITED. A. Mackenzie on the other hand, had a terrible day. MoonDogs's best player was M. Ekstål. On the other hand, B. Grenmo's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 6.
