K-Lypso 0 - 0 Shadows (380789567)

34398 spectators had come to Alexander Arena this cloudy day. Ruperto Escudero was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Uffe Dinesen and Abraam Cao-Cordido. K-Lypso started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Marques - Pöysti, Winnepenninckx, Beler - Monazzami, Duca, Costescu, Rădulescu, Federico - Nichifor, Taboada Soto.

Shadows tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Lineup: Thwaites - Ienei, Madar, Parra, Paloş - Pinheiro, Trăilă, Lešević, Postelnicu, Roman - Hakim.

At 17 minutes played, N. Taboada Soto came in from the right with the intention of giving K-Lypso the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. P. Duca was very close to giving K-Lypso the lead with an ingenious free kick routine 18 minutes into the match, but the ball just grazed the bar. K-Lypso's V. Nichifor was shown a yellow card after 20 minutes for slicing down an opponent. A scuffle developed as players from both sides clashed following a tussle in the centre of the field 26 minutes into the match. After regaining order and consulting his linesman, the referee called Shadows's L. Pinheiro to one side and produced a red card for the player. 0 - 0 was the halftime score. K-Lypso claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

After 70 minutes, the Shadows coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving T. Hakim off the field. S. Berggren took his place. Some lightning fast two foot dribbles by V. Nichifor left T. Madar way behind after 79 minutes, but the shot was just wide. Possession in this half belonged to K-Lypso, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

K-Lypso's best player was N. Taboada Soto. However, S. Monazzami made a disastrous appearance. Shadows's top performer was clearly A. Thwaites. On the other hand, E. Roman's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 0.
