FERGUSONS 2 - 2 Inhumen (382588282)

A scorching day at FERGUSONS TRAFORD, where 38146 spectators were in place for today's match. Anders Oxbo was the appointed referee. FERGUSONS had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Lineup: Talamilla - Bebb, Euckens, Rassolovas, Guerreiro - Rindsfüser, Riihimäki, Tabolevičius, Sprostranov, Krivda - Teruz.

Inhumen decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Apostolov - Ipiñazar, Yonevski, Mladenov - Bandi, Mihov, Lefterov, Régnier, Paunov - Tcherbanenko, Roukko.

The most controversial moment of the game was likely the penalty given after 17 minutes. Inhumen's S. Lefterov kept his concentration, despite the upset crowd, and calmly put the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 1. With 30 minutes having been played, FERGUSONS scored to make it 1 - 1. A dribble down the left wing, followed by a shot which took a wicked bounce off a defender resulted in the keeper having no chance. Everyone thought it'd been an own goal, but S. Teruz was marked down as the scorer. Some great play up the middle by FERGUSONS led to a chance for S. Krivda to score after 37 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Halftime score was 1 - 1. FERGUSONS claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 57 percent.

Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 47 minutes, FERGUSONS did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, S. Rassolovas was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 2 - 1. S. Bandi didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. FERGUSONS's J. Bebb was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 80 minutes. Usually a powerful player on the field, S. Rassolovas looked kind of pale and tired under the hot sun. 84 minutes into the match, S. Lefterov bent a free kick around the home team's defensive formation, leaving the keeper with no chance for a save. Inhumen had levelled the scoreline at 2 - 2. FERGUSONS's S. Teruz tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. FERGUSONS's H. Riihimäki got himself booked for a foul. FERGUSONS enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

FERGUSONS's top performer was clearly A. Sprostranov. However, J. Bebb made a disastrous appearance. Most important Inhumen player was S. Apostolov. V. Roukko on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
