Azdaje 4 - 1 MALE_BUDE (382505217)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 41222 to Pecina. Hans-Josef Finger was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Benny Johansson and Raúl Artaño. Azdaje tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players took the field: Simeunović - Milošević, Mišić - Sylaj, Balšić, Marković, Budimirović, Jakšić - Budimčević, Vukadinović, Bajić.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for MALE_BUDE. Starters: Blonder - Dunbar, Gallinari, Bakhtiarov - Auer-Welsbach, Bodnár, Poelarends, Serdült, Descharmes - Rozand, Oberhuber.

Azdaje tried to focus their attacks down the middle. M. Bodnár caught everyone off guard with a great opening pass - but unfortunately M. Auer-Welsbach was as surprised by the move as anybody else, and managed to miss the extraordinary opportunity. L. Sylaj of Azdaje was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 12 minutes, Azdaje were awarded a free kick. Rather than shooting straight at goal, the taker went for an indirect variant which seemed to take his team mates a bit by surprise. M. Bajić did attempt a finish, but from an awkward position, sending the ball into the away fans. Azdaje had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. Azdaje made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left M. Bajić completely alone with keeper T. Blonder, who made a spectacular block. With 28 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending. S. Rozand put the ball away for 0 - 1. With 31 minutes played, Azdaje's B. Budimirović found an opening in the visitors' left side defence, but his shot was handled easily by the keeper. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Azdaje, with 53 percent of the ball.

Boom! What a strike by Azdaje's D. Balšić! Firing in from 35 yards after 56 minutes, that is probably one of the best goals he's ever scored! 1 - 1. With 58 minutes played, Azdaje's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to N. Jakšić he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 2 - 1. Azdaje players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. 60 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as M. Vukadinović broke through, making the score 3 - 1 for Azdaje. By now, the players in Azdaje felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. M. Mišić squirmed through their central defence after 65 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to Azdaje, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

Azdaje's best player was I. Budimčević. On the other hand, L. Sylaj's play was disheartening. The most dominating MALE_BUDE player was without a doubt K. Serdült. However, S. Dunbar made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
