GALACTICOS70 2 - 0 MASTER (381756690)

A scorching day at SANT ' AGNESE, where 23977 spectators were in place for today's match. Leif Torsson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Lucien Desplanches and Józef Dyczek. GALACTICOS70 started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Refhan - Cuadros, Szarkowicz, Mentz - Beldam, Vescan, Vervier, Ziomko, Tytgat - Ravski, Yelpo.

MASTER had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Starters: Eugénie - Rabadžija, Sudrow, Samaniego, Knapp, Sulosaari - Saban, Babenkov, Džambo, Mraček - Farnleitner.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for MASTER. GALACTICOS70 fans held their breath as C. Beldam scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! With 6 minutes played, Z. Szarkowicz could have brought this one home for GALACTICOS70 as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. GALACTICOS70 had to manage with a reduced squad after 24 minutes, as W. Tytgat got sent off for a needless foul away from the game's action. MASTER's counterattacks created a good chance for L. Saban on the right after 29 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. GALACTICOS70 had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

The score became 2 - 0 at 59 minutes into the game, when GALACTICOS70 were given a penalty which C. Beldam blasted straight down the middle giving the keeper no chance! MASTER had to make a substitution after 64 minutes. T. Sulosaari limped off the field and was replaced by R. Marot. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave B. Rabadžija from MASTER a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 68 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! P. Sudrow looked to be heading one way when he unexpectedly passed the ball to L. Saban. The move caught everyone off-guard, including his teammate, who panicked and kicked the ball out of play by accident. GALACTICOS70 put in a good effort on the right, but C. Beldam saw his volley fly wide of the mark 79 minutes into the game. As usual, L. Samaniego tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. GALACTICOS70 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 69 percent.

GALACTICOS70's top performer was clearly A. Yelpo. H. Refhan turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important MASTER player was A. Farnleitner. However, R. Marot made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 0.
