ACM87 0 - 0 Sikat (380760616)

The 31000 fans in attendance at Black Red Devil Stadium were roasting in the hot sun. Mathias Ziep was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Tuomo Kaikkonen and Sadurní Rovira. ACM87 decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Starters: Stanoykov - Tremolada, Mazzocato, Girau, Rheinaue - Buchau, Silva, Marcato, Almogrote - Ambachtsheer, Siderits.

Sikat started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Ziegelmeyer - Kadir, Massie, Juanda, Arrieiro, Nietrzeba - Atanasov, Jelić, Tobing, Li - Gobbi.

Sikat were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. ACM87's F. Almogrote got himself booked for a foul. Against a lesser team, Sikat could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 31 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Sikat, who controlled the ball 55 percent of the time.

Usually a powerful player on the field, F. Almogrote looked kind of pale and tired under the hot sun. 63 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Sikat substitution. A. Laguyas came on for P. Li. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, F. Marcato got himself booked. The manager of ACM87 was not happy. I. Kadir's technique was perfect on this sunny day and led to some breathtaking tricks that bamboozled the defence. T. Ambachtsheer was very close to giving ACM87 the lead with an ingenious free kick routine 86 minutes into the match, but the ball just grazed the bar. Sikat enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

ACM87's best player was F. Mazzocato. V. Tremolada was a disappointment, however. F. Juanda performed admirably for Sikat. H. Ziegelmeyer on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 0.
