Budale 1 - 5 Azdaje (382505218)

41340 spectators had come to Ragina Glava this cloudy day. David Paulissen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by André Bettencourt and Mikel Calderón. The derby had been the talk of Beograd all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. Budale had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Öğüt - Van Eycken, Rosenstein, Fornaciari - Gołąbek, Lyngaa, Ilić, Kuizenga, Drizić - Kljajević, Enzerink.

Azdaje tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Gučić - Milošević, Nešić, Mišić - Sylaj, Balšić, Marković, Budimirović, Jakšić - Budimčević, Bajić.

Azdaje mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Azdaje were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 21 minutes allowed M. Marković to score for Azdaje. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. With 24 minutes played, D. Kuizenga of Budale fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Azdaje had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. B. Budimirović was, after 27 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper T. Öğüt made the save. A drive down the left side allowed I. Budimčević to get in close and score another goal for Azdaje after 33 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Azdaje, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

M. Marković increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. The players of Azdaje now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Azdaje's B. Budimirović had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 66 minutes having been played. D. Nešić was the replacement. Some things can only be learned through experience, and A. Ilić should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Azdaje a goal with 69 minutes of the match played. The Azdaje free kick 78 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of V. Nešić, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 4! 80 minutes into the game, H. Lyngaa finished off a Budale left wing counterattack, making the score 1 - 4. A penalty was awarded after 81 minutes, and I. Budimčević made the most of his chance to put Azdaje up by another goal. 1 - 5 for the visitors. Budale had to make a substitution after 87 minutes. V. Drizić limped off the field and was replaced by M. Vărcuş. Azdaje claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

The most dominating Budale player was without a doubt L. Kljajević. M. Vărcuş on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Azdaje player was I. Budimčević. L. Sylaj turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 5.
