Bestime 0 - 9 Flaviense (380414279)

The 12000 fans in attendance at Perfectime Arena were roasting in the hot sun. Zlatko Hillmann was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Dean Riley and Craig Wallis. Bestime had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Soares - Guião, de Castro, Tavares, Saavedra - Almeida, Marques, Monteiro, Miguel Silva - Figueiredo Martins, Gonçalves.

Flaviense tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. Starters: Amdisen - Kłębacz, Lopes - Balilaj, Figueiredo, Oliveira, Petruni, Janota - Kurtishi, Almeida Miranda, Nadarević.

M. Petruni came close to putting the visiting team one up 13 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but N. Soares managed to tip the ball to a corner. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 15 minutes into the match left Flaviense's S. Kurtishi completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. P. Nadarević increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 2. I. Figueiredo of Flaviense was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 22 minutes, Flaviense's M. Almeida Miranda burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Flaviense lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. After 30 minutes of game time, F. Oliveira had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but N. Soares was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. The visitors' I. Figueiredo took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 37 minutes into the match. 0 - 4 for Flaviense. 0 - 4 was the halftime score. Flaviense enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 87 percent of possession.

After 57 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave J. Balilaj a chance to increase the lead for Flaviense, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 5. S. Kurtishi received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 64 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 6. The Flaviense fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The Flaviense players could smell victory in the air. J. Balilaj wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for R. Bandiko after 70 minutes. The Flaviense captaincy was handed to B. Lopes. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Flaviense coach let C. Cambra replace M. Petruni after 70 minutes. S. Kurtishi wanted to play on, but the Flaviense coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 70 minutes into the game by A. Damboeck. When B. Lopes was badly injured by a couple of strong tackles after 79 minutes, Flaviense fans were unhappy to discover that it was not possible to make a substitution. F. Amdisen was handed the Flaviense captain's armband. The heat made it a terrible day for A. Monteiro, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. After 82 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for F. Oliveira who increased Flaviense's lead to 0 - 7. That Flaviense's R. Bandiko has the ability of doing what no one expects him to do was shown as he ran over an opposing defender, snatched the ball and passed to A. Damboeck who hit it hard into the wide open goal after 83 minutes: 0 - 8! The visitors' P. Janota took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 84 minutes into the match. 0 - 9 for Flaviense. Flaviense had most of the ball, with 91 percent of possession.

Most important Bestime player was D. Almeida. N. Soares was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Flaviense player was without a doubt F. Oliveira. However, M. Almeida Miranda made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 9.
