Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and
Funny_Chjck ArenaC saw a crowd turnout of 12000.
Pierre-Yves Guion was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Paolo Sorrentino and
Gaylord Rigoulet.
Funny_Chjck tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination.
The following players had been chosen: Đan Bằng - Văn Chuyển, Văn, Udommungkalanon, Bửu Uyên - Phúc Mẫn, Phúc Chi, Sơn Nam, Tấn Bửu - Văn Lộc, Diệu.
Phong started off with a 4-4-2 lineup.
They fielded: Phúc Thăng - Khuyến, Celis, Vercesi, Văn Du - Văn Thới, Ploss, El Rifai, Pilotto - Klęczar, Beerta.
Funny_Chjck decided to play creatively.
Phong displayed their ability to play creatively.
After 13 minutes, Funny_Chjck sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached
N. Tấn Bửu, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 0.
The home team will be cursing
E. Klęczar for weeks; he finished off a great pass from the left, knocking it past the keeper without a problem. The match was level at 1 - 1 after 18 minutes.
20 minutes into the game,
N. Phúc Thăng had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came
P. Văn Trừ.
1 - 2 was the score with 24 minutes played, after
E. Vercesi cut through the central defence and chipped home a goal for Phong.
Phong's
I. El Rifai made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 36 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line.
The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 2.
Phong claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.
51 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 1 - 3 as
B. Ploss finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick.
After this, you could see that the players of Phong were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals.
Funny_Chjck's fans were urging them forward as they tried to get back into the game, and their vocal support was rewarded 70 minutes into the match as
A. Udommungkalanon ran onto a beautiful ball played through the visitors' defence and slotted it past the keeper to reduce the deficit. 2 - 3.
L. Beerta left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 76 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead.
N. Đức Cường was the replacement.
After 78 minutes, the Phong players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game.
In the lead, Phong adjusted their style of play with 78 minutes gone.
A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from
E. Klęczar after 84 minutes, and prevented Phong from going up another goal.
Phong had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.
P. Văn Lộc performed admirably for Funny_Chjck.
A. Udommungkalanon turned in a dismal performance, however.
Phong's best player was
E. Klęczar.
On the other hand,
P. Văn Trừ's play was disheartening.
The match ends 2 - 3.
