K.KH 0 - 2 Lesio (379699043)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and 19/8 NhaTrang saw a crowd turnout of 2929. Thomas Giry was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Willi Schwartzengarber and Edmond Pache. K.KH decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. Lineup: Řízek - Aufdenblatten, Vuska, Figueroa - Karusto, Truchan, Andersson, Martínez Ares - Gribauskas, Pallinis, Moosmann.

Lesio tactics involved an interesting 3-5-1 combination. The following players took the field: Santagostino - Žeželj, Morgner, Hidasi - Simonin, Azevedo, Mercer, Oulsounidis, Viana - Tomić.

K.KH mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. 0 - 1 was the score with 8 minutes played, after I. Tomić cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Lesio. Lesio increased their lead after 14 minutes when I. Tomić broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Lesio lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. With 25 minutes played, A. Gribauskas of K.KH fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for K.KH, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as T. Andersson tried lifting the ball over keeper T. Santagostino. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, Á. Hidasi would have put Lesio up another goal 39 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. Lesio claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

53 minutes into the game, Lesio seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to passable. After 63 minutes, T. Andersson had a good opportunity to reduce the scoreline for K.KH with a chance created through the middle, but wasn't cool enough. The ball went miles over the bar. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave I. Tomić from Lesio a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 64 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Lesio came close to extending their lead as I. Tomić delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 66 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. 72 minutes into the game, Lesio had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. A. Gribauskas of K.KH got sent off for kicking the ball after the whistle, a completely uncalled for move, earning him his second yellow card of the game. Lesio enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

Most important K.KH player was P. Moosmann. However, F. Martínez Ares made a disastrous appearance. A. Oulsounidis performed admirably for Lesio. A. Mercer on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
