Scorpions_BBC 0 - 2 Olypique (383142335)

13650 punters turned up at Cross of Christ, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Per Fagersten was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Emmanuel Dousset and Bernd Goebel. Scorpions_BBC started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. They fielded: Grondin - Sorrenti, Vlastarakis, Roy, Paniagua - Ramo, Boncelj, Bahchevanov, Małysz, Vallejo - Voráček.

Olypique had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Konończuk - Goudie, Sooäär, Rival - Gleason, Esposito, Bösiger, Rengel, Kaletka - Troche, Kivi.

Given a free kick in a difficult position after 10 minutes, Scorpions_BBC tried a variation that they had practised in training. The kick was sent into the area just in front of the keeper. However, the defence were on their toes and allowed no space for a finish. With 20 minutes played, P. Esposito of Olypique fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The visitors were very close to gaining the lead with a marvellous free kick after 27 minutes, but B. Grondin made a beautiful one-handed save. Making his way up the middle 31 minutes into the match, W. Małysz almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert Z. Konończuk blocked it to keep the score level. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Possession was split evenly between the teams.

As the 60 minute mark approached, the Olypique coach decided it was time for a substitution. B. Kaletka reluctantly made way for I. Rapallo on the pitch. 70 minutes into the game, Olypique wanted to bring some new energy to their game. V. Kivi gave S. Rouat a quick hug as he left the field. 73 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Olypique substitution. P. Thepworasuk came on for M. Bösiger. Scorpions_BBC's A. Roy got himself booked for a foul. At 81 minutes played, W. Małysz came in from the right with the intention of giving Scorpions_BBC the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. The guests took the lead 86 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in P. Troche scoring to make it 0 - 1. 89 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as D. Rival finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave W. Małysz from Scorpions_BBC a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 89 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! The player down was L. Gleason. The Olypique bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. Olypique enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

Scorpions_BBC's top performer was clearly E. Vlastarakis. J. Ramo on the other hand, had a terrible day. Olypique's best player was J. Rengel. However, S. Sooäär made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
