Tsim 0 - 11 He (380132507)

7000 spectators had come to Yau Tsim Mong Stadium this cloudy day. Bo Swart was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Simone Corrocher and Peter Holtenstad. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Tsim. They fielded: 明賓 (Mingbin) - 康鑫 (Kangxin) , Langston, 淡卿 (Danqing) , Sherratt - 潤生 (Runsheng) , 奥賓 (Aobin) , 清福 (Qingfu) , 雲杰 (Yunjie) - 軍言 (Junyan) , 相言 (Xiangyan).

He had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Shihrur - Toppar, Olendzki - Pendersen, Memaliaj, Germans, Cuper, Rolff - Heilmeier, Korkmaz, 項峰 (Xiangfeng).

He used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. He's Ş. Korkmaz gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 11 minutes with a superb strike from the right. M. Cuper hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving He's E. Pendersen an easy chance to knock it in for 0 - 2. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave B. Sherratt from Tsim a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 25 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The visitors added to their lead 35 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by He's R. Heilmeier slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 3. 38 minutes into the game, B. Sherratt had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came S. Alan. 39 minutes into the match, the speedy Ş. Korkmaz easily outpaced A. Langston, chipped the keeper and made the score 0 - 4. By now, the players in He felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. After 40 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for V. Toppar who increased He's lead to 0 - 5. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 41 minutes, He did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, 鐘. 項峰 (Xiangfeng) was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 6. He were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. After 42 minutes, He's 鐘. 項峰 (Xiangfeng) burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 7. Halftime score was 0 - 7. He claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 89 percent.

An amazing free kick flew past the home keeper 59 minutes into the match, putting He ahead 0 - 8. R. Heilmeier was the scorer. The He free kick 69 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 Ş. Korkmaz, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 9! That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for Ş. Korkmaz. After 75 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave 鐘. 項峰 (Xiangfeng) a chance to increase the lead for He, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 10. This third goal completed a hattrick for 鐘. 項峰 (Xiangfeng) . Ş. Korkmaz of He was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. A penalty was awarded after 81 minutes, and R. Heilmeier made the most of his chance to put He up by another goal. 0 - 11 for the visitors. That made three goals for R. Heilmeier and he was marked down for the hat trick. Possession in this half belonged to He, who controlled the ball 90 percent of the time.

Most important Tsim player was 隋. 雲杰 (Yunjie) . 牛. 明賓 (Mingbin) turned in a dismal performance, however. The most dominating He player was without a doubt 鐘. 項峰 (Xiangfeng) . E. Pendersen on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 11.
