Claystation 1 - 2 Dynamo (379272891)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Theatre of Dreams saw a crowd turnout of 3715. Luis Calvo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Šime Matijić and Ivan Muzykantov. Claystation started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. The following players took the field: Perales - Akpom, Moses, Sharangabo, Zulu - Igho, Awka, Jess - Obinna, Eji, Harrison.

Dynamo had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. Starters: Flett - Harding, Caulfield, Pemberton, Blessington, Williams - Makkonen, Mikkola, Busby - Logan, Palmer.

Claystation tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Claystation players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. It was obvious that team Claystation had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. F. Eji gave Claystation the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 O. Moses received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 24 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. The visitors' equaliser seemed sure to come after 27 minutes, following a one on one situation around the left hand side of the goal area, but R. Perales got the best of it, blocking the shot from R. Palmer. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Dynamo, with 61 percent of the ball.

Dynamo needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 46 minutes M. Harding made way for L. Tempe. A. Obinna wanted to play on, but the Claystation coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 60 minutes into the game by T. Kouame. The Dynamo free kick 62 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of T. Makkonen, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 1 - 1! S. Igho would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. F. Hernando entered the game for Claystation as the match clock showed 65 minutes. With 67 minutes played, R. Palmer of Dynamo fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. 69 minutes into the game, L. Tempe almost gave the visitors the lead, as he clipped a delicate lob over the keeper, but the ball glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. 70 minutes into the game, Claystation wanted to bring some new energy to their game. O. Moses gave C. Dincă a quick hug as he left the field. C. Dincă became the new Claystation captain. D. Logan came close to putting the visiting team one up 74 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but R. Perales managed to tip the ball to a corner. P. Jess of Claystation was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, D. Blessington got himself booked. The manager of Dynamo was not happy. With 80 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. D. Logan put the ball away for 1 - 2. H. Mikkola could have added one to the visitors' lead if his free kick had gone just a little lower. Dynamo had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

Most important Claystation player was T. Kouame. B. Zulu on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating Dynamo player was without a doubt D. Logan. L. Flett turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
