Warriors 0 - 8 Uncons (222666738)

The 13929 spectators at Warriors Dome were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Jens Daniels was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Guillaume Wollenmann and Louis Streck. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Warriors. Starters: Hillen - Dautzenberg, de Keiser, Kiek, Krook - Copejans, van der Sligte, Beenakker, Doeleman - Lanz, Brocaar.

Uncons decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Grenfeldt - Bonde, van der Waard, van der Laan - Klein, Borghaerts, Huibers, Lorsch, Bruineman - Ligthart, Salomons.

This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when A. Ligthart slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against M. Hillen, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. 0 - 1 was the score with 19 minutes played, after R. van der Waard cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Uncons. 30 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as B. van der Laan finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The visitors' A. Ligthart took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 36 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for Uncons. After this, you could see that the players of Uncons were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave O. Klein from Uncons a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 37 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! M. Bonde's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. M. Hillen got a fingertip on K. Bruineman's shot from the left 40 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Halftime score was 0 - 3. Possession in this half belonged to Uncons, who controlled the ball 87 percent of the time.

Content with how the game was proceeding, the Uncons coach let J. Verhaag replace B. Grenfeldt after 46 minutes. O. Klein left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Laman was the replacement. R. Borghaerts left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. W. Borgsteede was the replacement. With 47 minutes played, Uncons put themselves up 0 - 4 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was E. Salomons. Warriors's N. Copejans was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 52 minutes. 61 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 5 as R. van der Waard finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. B. van der Laan didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. 73 minutes into the game a free kick by M. Bonde found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making Uncons's lead 0 - 6. Given a free kick close to the byline, Uncons tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let H. Lorsch slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 7, 74 minutes into the game. Uncons had to manage with a reduced squad after 74 minutes, as A. Ligthart got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. T. Doeleman of Warriors had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. W. de Winkel came in to finish the match. With 78 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed R. van der Waard of Uncons to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 8. At that, R. van der Waard was noted down for a hat trick! Possession in this half belonged to Uncons, who controlled the ball 84 percent of the time.

Warriors's best player was W. de Winkel. M. Hillen was a disappointment, however. Uncons's top performer was clearly T. Huibers. E. Salomons turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 8.
