ANGELS 0 - 1 owned (381504991)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and The River saw a crowd turnout of 68253. Erik ''Lobbe'' Åhnskär was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Herman Carlkvist and Banabakhe Shasha. ANGELS tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. They fielded: Ginat - Emmanuele, La Madrid, Gurmendi, Hubin - Ramos, Petkov, Wesnitzer, Diacci, Ilić - Piccinonno.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for owned. The following players had been chosen: Korvinius - Asraf, Pakrūms, Lavizani - Răduţ, Biezums, Puguli-Fogels, Avenājs, Jansson - Šteinbergs, Brīdiņš.

The strategy for ANGELS was to use their ability to press. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of owned. A lovely run by owned's S. Jansson left his markers for dead and should have resulted in a goal, but the finish went just wide. Good work by the owned defensive line after 8 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found A. Brīdiņš alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. Against a lesser team, ANGELS could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 39 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. ANGELS's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. It was 0 - 0 at the break. ANGELS enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 59 percent of possession.

After 48 minutes, owned's I. Răduţ made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. 54 minutes into the game, C. Piccinonno had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came F. Paurs. ANGELS pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. ANGELS's F. Paurs was shown a yellow card after 75 minutes for slicing down an opponent. The owned players could smell victory in the air. S. Puguli-Fogels wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for W. Klaiber after 89 minutes. ANGELS had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

ANGELS's best player was R. Diacci. D. Ilić on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important owned player was A. Šteinbergs. W. Klaiber turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
