PongPong 3 - 0 mak88 (380682912)

A scorching day at Tamama 大球場, where 59304 spectators were in place for today's match. Anre Hanni was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Günther Nachbagauer and Arco Graat. PongPong had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Zavenyan - Dorfer, Yasa, 延凱 (Yankai), Cudny - Edenby, 瞬杰 (Shunjie) , Parodi, Widholm, May - Heymer.

mak88 decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. The following players took the field: 德偉 (Dewei) - 全 (Quan), 琨平 (Kunping) , Amberstone, 昉海 (Fanghai) - Medina Soriano, Thackaberry, 紹政 (Shaozheng), 德華 (Dehua) , 啟競 (Qijing) - 平江 (Pingjiang).

Today, mak88's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. With 17 minutes gone, a long pass from the defence of mak88 resulted in a counterattack that set 林. 德華 (Dehua) free through the middle, but the keeper made a spectacular diving save. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, 譚. 紹政 (Shaozheng) got himself booked. The manager of mak88 was not happy. PongPong could have put themselves ahead after 23 minutes but 付. 瞬杰 (Shunjie) missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. The home side put themselves ahead 1 - 0 after 30 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from 付. 瞬杰 (Shunjie) , who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. After 32 minutes, R. Parodi put PongPong ahead 2 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. Confident in their lead, PongPong's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Halftime score was 2 - 0. PongPong claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 64 percent.

It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why W. May found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. The referee showed mak88's 劉. 琨平 (Kunping) the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A great save by keeper 葉. 德偉 (Dewei) after 56 minutes kept the visitors in the game after R. Parodi struck from the left with a real cannonball. With 60 minutes played, the mak88 coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. 黃. 輝松 (Huisong) came on, 蕭. 平江 (Pingjiang) had to leave the fray. After 66 minutes, 付. 瞬杰 (Shunjie) sent the corner kick right to K. Widholm who headed it sharply past the keeper. 3 - 0! In an effort to secure the lead, PongPong changed their tactic after 75 minutes. The PongPong coach was visibly pleased with the score so far, but still ordered a few tactical changes 75 minutes into the game. As usual, 謝. 延凱 (Yankai) tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. Coming from the right, R. Parodi almost managed to score another goal for PongPong, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by PongPong, with 64 percent of the ball.

The most dominating PongPong player was without a doubt L. Heymer. E. Yasa on the other hand, had a terrible day. 黃. 輝松 (Huisong) performed admirably for mak88. 林. 昉海 (Fanghai) turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
