Kleinhans a quick hug as he left the field. 70 minutes into the match, the dandush manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. P. Molborn would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. V. Paroli entered the game for Stafi as the match clock showed 70 minutes. With the match clock at 78 minutes, dandush modified their style of play a little bit. When E. Claerhout left the game because of a back injury after 80 minutes, Stafi had to continue a man short due to there being no available replacements. Stafi claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 51 percent.
