JianDe 3 - 1 Mordor (379267513)

Due to an all-day shower, 3682 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at 建德市国立体育场. Sylvain Steinauer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Nicola Brasini and Linus Benedikt Gallas. JianDe tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. The following players took the field: Wiersema - Jedziniak, Boiano, Carbonneaux, Benkö, 以明 (Yiming) - 云栎 (Yunli), 宏凡 (Hongfan), 天翔 (Tianxiang), 荣兴 (Rongxing) - Pichon.

Mordor started off with a 2-5-3 lineup. They fielded: Rothfuss - Iacchetti, Neagoe - Pamer, Fantz, Theiler, González, Duerrenberger - de Meza, Rivière, Nimčević.

It was an obvious ambition of JianDe to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. 4 minutes in, the referee awarded JianDe a penalty. M. Boiano coolly slotted it home for a 1 - 0 lead. The referee showed Mordor's A. de Meza the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. JianDe were forced into a substitution as J. Jedziniak couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing H. São João to come in off the bench. 赵. 宏凡 (Hongfan) was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. The home team will be cursing A. Fantz for weeks; he finished off a great pass from the left, knocking it past the keeper without a problem. The match was level at 1 - 1 after 22 minutes. 25 minutes were showing on the scoreboard when Mordor's A. de Meza received his second yellow card and was sent off. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, É. Carbonneaux scored for JianDe putting them ahead 2 - 1, after 27 minutes. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 1. Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave H. São João from JianDe a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 53 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! JianDe's 温. 以明 (Yiming) was shown a yellow card after 70 minutes for slicing down an opponent. M. Rivière slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. JianDe had to manage with a reduced squad after 76 minutes, as É. Carbonneaux got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. Unfortunately for Mordor, B. Rothfuss was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. F. Labra replaced him. M. González was the new captain of Mordor - handed the armband by the departing player. Mordor's M. Rivière made use of his speed to get free of the defence, but he still couldn't get a shot off 80 minutes into the match. JianDe put themselves up 3 - 1 when M. Boiano broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

H. São João performed admirably for JianDe. However, 温. 以明 (Yiming) made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Mordor player was without a doubt P. Nimčević. F. Labra was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
