Fast 1 - 4 Lysdexic (386977554)

It had rained all day, but 19570 hardy fans still made it out to Carrera Park. Jerzy Strzemiński was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mikko Gumse and Adriano Viegas. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Fast. The following players took the field: Munz - Waterhouse, Horiuchi, Hart, Ðuričanin - Afford, Campomagnani, Dalton, Vorotilin, Gunson - Alchin.

Lysdexic decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. They fielded: Popescu - Ovesen, Armendáriz, Herren - Pölöskey, Öhrdahl, Kordyka, Barzotto - Lidbury, Robert, Slipper.

The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit L. Dalton just fine. 20 minutes in, Fast's J. Alchin received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Lysdexic's goal to make the score 0 - 1 came via a questionable penalty, but J. Armendáriz struck it home without a second thought. 29 minutes into the game, Lysdexic's R. Ovesen fired home from an incredible distance! We'll be seeing that on Xmas goal compilation DVDs for years to come! 0 - 2. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Lysdexic lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. 29 minutes into the game, B. Gunson had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came B. Snowdon. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Lysdexic, with 51 percent of the ball.

Fast reduced the lead to 1 - 2 with 56 minutes on the clock when L. Dalton got the best of a ball floated in from the left. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave T. Lidbury from Lysdexic a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 62 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! It was a bad day for the usually speedy D. Campomagnani. The mud seemed to slow him down. A penalty was awarded after 76 minutes, and J. Armendáriz made the most of his chance to put Lysdexic up by another goal. 1 - 3 for the visitors. After 77 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed T. Lidbury to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 1 - 4. Lysdexic enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

J. Alchin performed admirably for Fast. M. Waterhouse turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Lysdexic player was T. Lidbury. L. Herren was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
