Nuclear 0 - 0 FTP (380508193)

Clouds darkened the skies at Taipei Northern Woods Stadium as 61795 spectators turned up for the match. Martijn Klapwijk was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Immanuel Dequae and Guillaume Alliot. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Nuclear. They fielded: Cairada - Portela, Şuţă, Felici Ridolfi, Luczás - Livingstone, Ebstein, 軒任 (Xuanren), 群嘉 (Qunjia) , Gakou - Esparís.

FTP decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: 尊平 (Zunping) - Batsleer, 澤雲 (Zeyun) , Davey, Westfalica - Espinoza, Grandini, Van Landegem, Birkholc - Quirino, Mas.

Nuclear mostly relied on their long range shooting ability. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of FTP. Some beautiful play by Nuclear set up 湯. 群嘉 (Qunjia) in a good shooting position after 11 minutes, but 鐘. 尊平 (Zunping) made a great save on the low hard shot. Good work by the FTP defensive line after 12 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found J. Mas alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. With 23 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of FTP resulted in a counterattack that set A. Espinoza free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. Nuclear's Y. Gakou had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 39 minutes having been played. 潘. 志英 (Zhiying) was the replacement. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Nuclear had most of the ball, with 70 percent of possession.

After 54 minutes, the defensive line of FTP created a counterattack through the middle that gave B. Westfalica a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. With 75 minutes gone, M. Batsleer suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by FTP caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. Making his way up the middle 83 minutes into the match, C. Şuţă almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert 鐘. 尊平 (Zunping) blocked it to keep the score level. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave A. Espinoza from FTP a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 84 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Nuclear's P. Esparís tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Nuclear enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 72 percent of possession.

The most dominating Nuclear player was without a doubt P. Esparís. 潘. 志英 (Zhiying) on the other hand, had a terrible day. FTP's best player was E. Quirino. 鐘. 尊平 (Zunping) was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
