previous 8/10 next 10/10  Legends 0 - 0 Amazons (373877114)

41532 spectators arrived at Arena Kuwait Legends, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Mario Incerpi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Feike Amperse and Teuvo Kulmala. Legends had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Sánchez - Cornoldi, Ahtiainen, Heyde, Frieling - Schaabner, Dawidowski, Marcelli, Lipták-Fegó, Galanek - Rammerstorfer.

Amazons decided to use a 5-2-3 set up. Starters: Mansoor - El-Seif, Arnaud, Musa, Asaad, Ibn-Shafiq - Xanders, Ibarra - Ekroos, Creţu, Malmberg.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Legends. Amazons clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. With 4 minutes gone, U. Xanders suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Amazons caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. After 14 minutes Amazons tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, E. Malmberg's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. Legends's M. Ahtiainen was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 32 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Legends, who controlled the ball 82 percent of the time.

With the clock showing 56 minutes played, a great pass from the defensive line of Amazons resulted in a counterattack that was smoothly brought under control by E. Malmberg in the centre of the opposition's penalty area, but his finish went high. Legends enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 84 percent of possession.

The most dominating Legends player was without a doubt K. Lipták-Fegó. However, M. Ahtiainen made a disastrous appearance. Amazons's best player was E. Malmberg. U. Xanders turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
