minou used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. After 11 minutes, K. Gam came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Hattrick the lead. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Chías got himself booked. The manager of Hattrick was not happy. Hattrick's J. Güell increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 32 minutes. M. Krašovc spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. minou were desperate to get a goal back and pushed forward through the middle 40 minutes into the game. After a scramble in the box, the ball dropped to Á. Kolovics, who smashed it home to make the score 2 - 1. 2 - 1 was the halftime score.
