Brothers 6 - 0 Benoks (386091220)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 12000 had shown up at Le Stadium for the match. Mugurel Mândrutã was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Leon Lønbæk and Florian Winkler. Brothers started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Strand - Belcredi, Cosme, Circolo - Castryck, Fragoso, Voldbirk, Liberzon, Fasani - Labarthe, Şahin.

A 5-4-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Benoks. The following players had been chosen: Szpecht - Rogier, Roussel, Baranger, Guyon, Menant - Mercey, Siitarinen, Sorin, Chapelle - Boyer.

For their match strategy, Benoks had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. Some great play up the middle by Brothers led to a chance for L. Liberzon to score after 2 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. Benoks's defence sent a ball soaring up the middle on a beautiful counterattack with 3 minutes gone, but M. Baranger's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. 12 minutes into the game, Benoks seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to solid. É. Cosme gave Brothers 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 With 24 minutes gone, J. Rogier suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Benoks caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. The Benoks players listened closely to their manager, as he gave new tactical instructions for the team. 29 minutes into the game, L. Liberzon had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came H. Mota. Cheers filled the stadium as H. Mota broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 2 - 0 to Brothers. Things were deteriorating for the away team as Brothers scored another to make it 3 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for H. Mota after 32 minutes. Confident in their lead, Brothers's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Unhappy with the result so far in the game, the Benoks manager used a brief break in play after 36 minutes to give the players new directives. 3 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Brothers, with 65 percent of the ball.

During the break, Benoks's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. With 52 minutes played, the Benoks coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. A. Couturier came on, N. Chapelle had to leave the fray. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Benoks's M. Baranger was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 64 minutes. H. Larsen was given a chance to change things around. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. A. Şahin squirmed through their central defence after 79 minutes, increasing the lead to 4 - 0. Brothers managed to extend their lead to 5 - 0 when E. Fasani cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Brothers's A. Voldbirk increased the lead to 6 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 85 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Brothers, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

A. Labarthe performed admirably for Brothers. L. Belcredi on the other hand, had a terrible day. Benoks's best player was H. Larsen. M. Szpecht was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
