pollootto 0 - 9 Snoopy (364557752)

It had rained all day, but 12000 hardy fans still made it out to Strada della Cattane. Pero Vučak was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Hugo Krumnacker and Konstantin Kallinna. pollootto decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players had been chosen: Kiong Ah - bin Omar, 融坚 (Rongjian), Nie Lee, How Su - Burrows, 泽维 (Zewei), Yong Siong, Qiang Han - Achyuthan, Yun Pin.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Snoopy. Lineup: Tijsma - Scharden, Mariñas, Beng Da - Puay Long, Barlow, Mohd Adam, Tse Sze, Yun Cheng - Austruy, bin Raja Yahya.

Snoopy demonstrated their creative tactics on the field. A. Mohd Adam's lack of experience almost gave pollootto a goal after 5 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. A badly positioned defensive formation on a free kick after 10 minutes led to Snoopy's M. bin Raja Yahya giving the visitors the lead 0 - 1. J. bin Omar was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. M. Barlow was in the clear after breaking the offside trap following a Snoopy counterattack from the left after 19 minutes. His neat finish made the score 0 - 2. A. Mohd Adam received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 41 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The Snoopy fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. After 42 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave A. Austruy a chance to increase the lead for Snoopy, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 4. Confident in their lead, Snoopy's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. E. Yun Cheng could have put his team up another goal 43 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. A drive down the left side allowed A. Mohd Adam to get in close and score another goal for Snoopy after 43 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 5. 0 - 5 was the score after the first half. Snoopy had most of the ball, with 78 percent of possession.

L. Puay Long increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 6. Snoopy increased their lead after 65 minutes when M. bin Raja Yahya broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 7, much to the home crowd's dismay. A. Mohd Adam came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over O. Kiong Ah but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. pollootto's S. Nie Lee got himself booked for a foul. With 78 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed W. Tse Sze of Snoopy to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 8. After 81 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed C. Beng Da to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 9. Possession in this half belonged to Snoopy, who controlled the ball 82 percent of the time.

Most important pollootto player was S. Achyuthan. W. Yun Pin on the other hand, had a terrible day. Snoopy's top performer was clearly M. Barlow. M. Tijsma was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 9.
