R.dam 1 - 5 Muur (374709800)

The 26295 fans in attendance at Bernabéu Stadium were roasting in the hot sun. Frederico Samora was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Onur Odhan and Björn Helltorp. R.dam decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. They fielded: Ehrsam - Lombardo, Pape, Bourgoin - van Saksen, van Ekeren, Gallano, Agter, Caelders - Käri, Urzáiz.

Muur tactics involved an interesting 5-3-2 combination. Lineup: ter Linden - Făt, Punti, Zsolnai, Tarquini, Givati - Asaf, Hellinger, Aukee - Konrad, Orourke.

Muur clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Good work by the Muur defensive line after 27 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found J. Konrad alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. R.dam's M. Urzáiz refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 28 minutes. After 30 minutes, a well-worked counterattack by Muur on the right presented an easy opportunity in front of the goal that was duly converted by A. Hellinger to make it 0 - 1. A drive down the left side allowed J. Konrad to get in close and score another goal for Muur after 31 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. R. Agter of R.dam was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The counterattacks of Muur were deadly and 40 minutes into the game, N. Aukee received a nice pass from the right flank, making it 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Muur lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. R.dam had to make a substitution after 43 minutes. D. van Saksen limped off the field and was replaced by O. Priem. It was 0 - 3 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by R.dam, with 81 percent of the ball.

D. Asaf didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. The home crowd was not impressed when M. Givati came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 62 minutes. Muur were now up 0 - 4. M. Givati knocked one home from a counterattack down the right wing, making the score 0 - 5 after 64 minutes. R.dam's M. Urzáiz cut towards the middle after 71 minutes, receiving a brilliant pass and slicing through the visiting team's central defence, reducing the lead to 1 - 5. R.dam had most of the ball, with 81 percent of possession.

R.dam's top performer was clearly R. Agter. H. Pape was a disappointment, however. Most important Muur player was R. Zsolnai. However, A. Hellinger made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 5.
