Man_united 2 - 4 Excalibur (382734182)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 40670 to OLD TRAFFORD - MB. Uzay Özman was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Sergio Contreras and José Ricardo Zarco. Man_united tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players took the field: Brüniger - Castronovo, Begonha, Inderst, Dohn - Sossai, Hovmand Jensen, Púrvanov, Zine - de Gruyter, Frison.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Excalibur. Starters: Slačanac - Stenvall, Brañas, Alducín - Kastel, Tondeur, Jakšič, Mičić - Kitsing, Gal, Altmann.

Excalibur took the lead after 28 minutes making the score 0 - 1. T. Mičić placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 40 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave T. Mičić a chance to increase the lead for Excalibur, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 2. The visitors' B. Gal took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 44 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for Excalibur. Man_united refused to be intimidated and, breaking through the middle, V. Hovmand Jensen managed to slip the ball home for 1 - 3. It was 1 - 3 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Excalibur, with 54 percent of the ball.

Man_united's A. Sossai cut towards the middle after 54 minutes, receiving a brilliant pass and slicing through the visiting team's central defence, reducing the lead to 2 - 3. After 72 minutes, Excalibur's B. Gal burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 2 - 4. The referee showed Excalibur's B. Gal the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. With 76 minutes played, O. Inderst's free kick looked like a certain goal for Man_united, but to his teammates' dismay, the keeper managed to tip it wide. Excalibur had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Man_united's top performer was clearly C. Frison. A. Sossai on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Excalibur player was J. Altmann. U. Alducín was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 4.
