O.U.L 0 - 6 bomas (372972549)

28755 spectators had come to Downtown this cloudy day. Marco Leenders was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Ivan Aksentijević and Ukko Paajala. O.U.L decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Lineup: Bierset - Hallez, Ryckaert, De Kee - Willems, Dieschburg, Fischer, Di Pietro - Nadal, Margodt, Damien.

bomas had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Solís - Barbu, Ness, Krefting - Stefano, Soldevilla, Semeraro, Danet, Gutierrez - Lowet, Trubat.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of O.U.L. Today, bomas's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 13 minutes into the game, V. Stefano almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by J. Krefting. At last, bomas's J. Trubat was able to backheel the ball in. 0 - 1. A drive down the left side allowed D. Barbu to get in close and score another goal for bomas after 26 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After this, you could see that the players of bomas were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. O.U.L's F. Willems had a nice free kick routine after 29 minutes that was very close to paying off, had it not been for a dramatic save by the visitors' keeper. N. Fischer neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to C. Di Pietro who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post. C. Danet received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 36 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The bomas fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Proving his experience, J. Trubat scored 0 - 4 for bomas after putting some pressure on the opposing defence at a critical moment. It was obvious that bomas had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. After 39 minutes of game time, S. Ness had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but S. Bierset was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. bomas's S. Ness refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 40 minutes. It was 0 - 4 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by bomas, with 65 percent of the ball.

S. Ness increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5. bomas were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. S. Bierset got a fingertip on M. Semeraro's shot from the left 81 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Attacking on the wings was the choice for bomas, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. After 83 minutes, bomas sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached J. Trubat, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 6. That made three goals for J. Trubat and he was marked down for the hat trick. Possession in this half belonged to bomas, who controlled the ball 68 percent of the time.

O.U.L's top performer was clearly P. Damien. However, E. Hallez made a disastrous appearance. J. Trubat performed admirably for bomas. On the other hand, A. Solís's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 6.
