Moffat 1 - 0 gentlemen (360380002)

Dark skies made the crowd of 60000 at The Wooded Field a little nervous, but the rain held off. Jani Siika-aho was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jürgen Radtke and Filiberto Dalla Rosa. Moffat had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Gwioździk - Sandid, de Leest, Ben-David - Milenković, Famulski, Ruel, Thüme, Kozel - Randall, Varela.

gentlemen decided to use a 5-2-3 set up. Starters: Băcanu - Frigy, Bentivegna, Baraldi, Nogueira, Steffensen - Kloiber, Bandelloni - Mitlašauskas, Ardama, Champalimaud.

gentlemen were relying on their ability to counter-attack. gentlemen's C. Băcanu refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 9 minutes. 25 minutes into the game, a swerving free kick by O. de Leest almost resulted in the home team taking the lead, but the shot glanced harmlessly off the frame of the goal. gentlemen's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 26 minutes gone, but A. Mitlašauskas's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. Moffat had a chance to take the lead after M. Sandid's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 31 minutes. H. Champalimaud of gentlemen was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Moffat had most of the ball, with 72 percent of possession.

gentlemen's A. Mitlašauskas was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 67 minutes. O. de Leest could have put Moffat into the lead after 71 minutes, but the free kick went just wide. With 76 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as C. Varela flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. gentlemen's O. Nogueira was shown a yellow card after 83 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The referee showed gentlemen's S. Bandelloni the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Moffat claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 72 percent.

The most dominating Moffat player was without a doubt C. Varela. Z. Gwioździk on the other hand, had a terrible day. gentlemen's best player was S. Bandelloni. On the other hand, R. Steffensen's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
