AFK 0 - 4 Dream (359335523)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 8838 to Allianz Arena. Christoffer Bongartz was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dario Šarčević and Sebastian Lită. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for AFK. They fielded: Zakariás - Miller, Rotter, Cals, Meilhammer - Teimonen, Kuitunen, Colen, Bauer - Loccioni, Göransson.

Dream decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Gandía - Aagreen, Davis, Bruineman - Birkholz, Kniga, Korkmaz, Gruchoł - Beentjes, Woda, Luttikhuis.

Pressing was the tactic of the day for AFK. 14 minutes into the match, a typically brave header by D. Luttikhuis from E. Gruchoł's cross looped just over the opposing goalkeeper's desperate reach. Goal for Dream, making the score 0 - 1. AFK's D. Göransson put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 26 minutes, but the ball went wide. A drive down the left side allowed D. Luttikhuis to get in close and score another goal for Dream after 29 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. M. Kuitunen charged down the left and looked sure to score for AFK 37 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. 37 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 3 as J. Woda finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. Dream's C. Korkmaz was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 40 minutes. 0 - 3 was the halftime score. Neither team were able to dominate possession this half.

Dream's O. Kniga left the field after 47 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was K. Vermeulen. G. Beentjes wanted to play on, but the Dream coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 50 minutes into the game by K. Strackx. The referee showed Dream's M. Bruineman the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A loud groan was heard from the fans of AFK, as M. Kuitunen left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. R. Geluk took his place on the field. W. Cals was handed the AFK captain's armband. J. Woda received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 64 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Dream fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. H. Rotter of AFK was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Dream came close to extending their lead as K. Strackx delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 71 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. AFK's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. AFK had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

Most important AFK player was V. Loccioni. However, R. Geluk made a disastrous appearance. Dream's best player was D. Luttikhuis. K. Vermeulen turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 4.
