previous 3/3 next 2/3  Maximilian 0 - 9 buba-liga (349008183)

15774 punters turned up at FC Max Bridge, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Nakorn Rattanasornthong was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Peddi Brueda and Raul Cotovio. Maximilian had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players took the field: Pontremoli - Beddha, Marino, Kordežu, Dovšek - Terseglav, Krajnčič, Muršec, Bizant - Lovec, Košorok.

buba-liga started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Anglikowski - Cotoner, Sulaiman, Fountain - Askenér, Yesha'ayahu, Ferri, Jelinčič, Xul - Mladonyiczki, Gysegom.

buba-liga used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. After 7 minutes, buba-liga put themselves up 0 - 1, as R. Sulaiman finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. V. Xul's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert B. Mladonyiczki was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for buba-liga. 0 - 2. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for buba-liga, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. A. Ferri received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 24 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The buba-liga fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. It was obvious that team buba-liga had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. P. Askenér of buba-liga took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 27 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of buba-liga lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. buba-liga increased their lead after 31 minutes when R. Sulaiman broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. Halftime score was 0 - 5. buba-liga claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 89 percent.

buba-liga were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. The visitors' P. Askenér took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 60 minutes into the match. 0 - 6 for buba-liga. 66 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 7 as G. Fountain finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. After 73 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for M. Cotoner who increased buba-liga's lead to 0 - 8. After 79 minutes of game time, V. Xul had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but B. Pontremoli was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. After 81 minutes, buba-liga's A. Ferri burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 9. Possession in this half belonged to buba-liga, who controlled the ball 91 percent of the time.

Most important Maximilian player was R. Terseglav. A. Bizant was a disappointment, however. A. Ferri performed admirably for buba-liga. M. Cotoner on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 9.
