TheLong 9 - 0 Rex (365123106)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 15507 had shown up at FC TheLong for the match. Cord Hueck was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Antoine Detsch and Mihaitã Pop. TheLong started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Manciocco - Kỳ Quan, Miên Thần, Yodchim - Phúc Nông, Văn To, Phúc Bạc, Việt Thường, Từ - Văn Đại, Anh Quân.

Rex tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Công Bằng - Hiếm, Thuyên, Đình Trí, Phúc Thái - Kiên Cường, Kim Ảnh, Đại Minh, Tâm Hiếu - Chơn Trung, Văn Lưu.

The wings were the focus of most of TheLong's attacks today. TheLong's L. Phúc Bạc was shown a yellow card after 10 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 20 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Rex found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to solid. With 28 minutes played, the home side managed to get a 1 - 0 lead as N. Văn Đại flipped the ball in after a cross from the right. TheLong solidified their lead at the 29 minute mark, as N. Văn Đại dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. TheLong put themselves up 3 - 0 when B. Việt Thường broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. With 43 minutes played, N. Văn Đại of TheLong fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. H. Từ squirmed through their central defence after 44 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of TheLong were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. The teams went for the halftime break at 4 - 0. TheLong enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 76 percent of possession.

The Rex players spent the break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organisation and regained a solid organisation when the game started again. TheLong's N. Miên Thần increased the lead to 5 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 49 minutes. TheLong were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 53 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by N. Văn Đại. 6 - 0 for the home side. At that, N. Văn Đại was noted down for a hat trick! With 54 minutes played, TheLong's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to N. Văn To he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 7 - 0. Attacking on the wings was the choice for TheLong, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. After 59 minutes, N. Văn To put TheLong ahead 8 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Things were deteriorating for the away team as TheLong scored another to make it 9 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for N. Văn Đại after 60 minutes. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by TheLong, with 78 percent of the ball.

Most important TheLong player was D. Phúc Nông. B. Việt Thường turned in a dismal performance, however. N. Văn Lưu performed admirably for Rex. On the other hand, L. Công Bằng's play was disheartening. The match ends 9 - 0.
