ASBV 3 - 1 bertrand (385883992)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 30821 to Lescure. Frederic Aucoin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Roni Liljeroos and Kalevi Närvänen. ASBV decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players took the field: Nourrisson - Gürcan, Baptista, Aydin - Kubiak, Chapron, Di Pasquale, Breheret - Sârbu, Legros, Rundin.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for bertrand. They fielded: Deryckere - Carbo, Verbon, Molteni - Manatakis, van Aerde, Pubert, Villard, Navarrete - ten Have, Mier y Teherán.

H. Rundin gave ASBV the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 After a savage shot that could only be parried by the keeper, L. Sârbu demonstrated his experience by being in just the right place to slot home the rebound. His goal for ASBV 29 minutes into the match made the score 2 - 0. Confident in their lead, ASBV's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Against a lesser team, ASBV could very well have succeeded with their smart indirect free kick routine after 30 minutes. A trio of passes took the ball all the way past the defenders, but by then the intended recipient was already blocked off and the keeper could make a leisurely save. Cheers filled the stadium as A. Chapron broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to ASBV. bertrand breathed new life into the game with an opportunity to reduce the score after 39 minutes, but the home side's defenders cleared the ball on the line, after a long shot coming in from the left rebounded off the crossbar. Halftime score was 3 - 0. ASBV had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

M. Kandybowicz was called on to replace bertrand's E. Deryckere after 73 minutes following a nasty collision. With 74 minutes showing on the scoreboard clock, bertrand showed some good skill and were able to reduce the score to 3 - 1 when T. ten Have got past the home side's central defenders right in front of the goal. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ASBV, with 53 percent of the ball.

T. Breheret performed admirably for ASBV. However, C. Kubiak made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating bertrand player was without a doubt G. Pubert. T. Manatakis was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 1.
