Young 1 - 2 Flames (386954683)

A brilliantly sunny day had enticed a crowd of 38558 to Kandang Harimau. Hubert Domiter was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Stijn Blezer and Glenn Kaldrup. Young tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Hautin - Hoffmann, Lamanna, Vojinović - Menéndez, Trkulja, Sojo, 双康 (Shuangkang) , Telichkin - van der Ven, Maruszak.

Flames started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. Starters: Alarcó - Boyneburg, Zolich, Dale, Sina - Alijošaitis, Van Dyck, Zaharia, Soler, Dotan - Carels.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Flames. M. Dale knocked one home from a counterattack down the right wing, making the score 0 - 1 after 3 minutes. M. Dale enjoyed the sunshine and demonstrated his stunning technique over and over again. Flames caught their opponents out with a clever counterattack down the right wing 15 minutes into the match. K. Alijošaitis was able to finish off the move - 0 - 2. M. Hautin got a fingertip on R. Carels's shot from the left 16 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. D. van der Ven charged down the left and looked sure to score for Young 17 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. Flames's P. Sina refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 33 minutes. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Young, with 58 percent of the ball.

After a short break after 46 minutes, Flames seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. After 46 minutes, the Flames players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. 57 minutes into the game, K. Alijošaitis had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came D. Cibrovius. A misunderstanding between the visitors' keeper J. Alarcó and his left defence could have resulted in a goal for Young, but C. Hoffmann's finish was way too lame. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs 何. 双康 (Shuangkang) found it hard to get back into position. 83 minutes into the game, Flames seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to solid. D. Trkulja was able to knock home a free kick after 85 minutes to make the score 1 - 2. Young had most of the ball, with 60 percent of possession.

D. van der Ven performed admirably for Young. A. Lamanna turned in a dismal performance, however. Flames's top performer was clearly R. Carels. On the other hand, S. Soler's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 2.
