Z'Ha'Dum 5 - 1 ACDM (380818057)

Due to an all-day shower, 28675 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at End of Line. Timo Saramäki was the appointed referee. Z'Ha'Dum decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Gándara - Bernadí, Tambalo, Kapten - Cepala, Sørensen, Mancheño, Saury - Golfín, Mota, Guillemin.

ACDM started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players took the field: Morariu - Ilie, van Baar, Işılay - Capone, Sarasua, Butel, Ouiguini - Tomuş, Cappozzo, Trikhin.

ACDM saw most attack opportunities on the wings. After 4 minutes, X. Guillemin came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Z'Ha'Dum the lead. The visitors' D. Tomuş was alert after a cross coming in from the left, levelling the score at 1 - 1 after 6 minutes. A. Golfín spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. Making his way up the middle 22 minutes into the match, U. Kapten almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert G. Morariu blocked it to keep the score level. A. Mota sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from G. Cepala after 38 minutes of play, making the score 2 - 1. Halftime score was 2 - 1. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

U. Kapten increased the lead for Z'Ha'Dum to 3 - 1, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Thighs bulging, Z. Bernadí charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. Z'Ha'Dum put themselves up 4 - 1 when S. Tambalo broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. With 67 minutes played, A. Mota of Z'Ha'Dum fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. An accurate cross from G. Cepala of Z'Ha'Dum was met with a wonderful glancing header from A. Mota, hitting the inside base of the post before nestling into the back of the net for 5 - 1. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Z'Ha'Dum lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. Z'Ha'Dum claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

E. Saury performed admirably for Z'Ha'Dum. However, A. Mota made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating ACDM player was without a doubt E. Ilie. On the other hand, G. Morariu's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 1.
