Alay 0 - 9 Deytano (387171245)

12000 spectators had found their way to SOUTH PARK, despite the heavy rain. Noël Ekster was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bruno Quelet and Jorge Feliz. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Alay. The following players took the field: Piniazhko - Jumageldiev, Egemkulov, Mashirapov, Tursunbekov - Ryabkov, Kaurov, Kurmanbekovich, Konanov - Atakanov, Ataniyazov.

Deytano tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Shamshiddinov - Joldoshev, Ibral Uulu, Mambetkaliev - Obogrelov, Bekmirzaev, Sunnat Ali, Chirkeshov, Mambetaliev - Pesenko, Bazarbayev.

Deytano were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 18 minutes allowed J. Mambetaliev to score for Deytano. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. The visitors' U. Bekmirzaev took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 25 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Deytano. Deytano had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. S. Bazarbayev of Deytano took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 28 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. The players of Deytano now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. T. Sunnat Ali had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. After 38 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed S. Bazarbayev to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 4. Alay's P. Kaurov was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 39 minutes. After 41 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for A. Mambetkaliev who increased Deytano's lead to 0 - 5. S. Ibral Uulu behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 42 minutes as he gave the ball away to A. Ataniyazov. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. It was 0 - 5 at the break. Deytano had most of the ball, with 84 percent of possession.

Deytano were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. A drive down the left side allowed S. Bazarbayev to get in close and score another goal for Deytano after 51 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 6. That was his third goal of the match - a hat trick for S. Bazarbayev. Deytano's J. Mambetaliev left the field after 62 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was J. Samar Uulu. S. Bazarbayev received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 63 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 7. The Deytano fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. Alay's T. Kurmanbekovich refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 71 minutes. 75 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 8 as J. Samar Uulu finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. The referee showed Deytano's J. Samar Uulu the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit Y. Obogrelov just fine. Some fine movement on the left led to a Deytano goal after 89 minutes, making it 0 - 9. O. Chirkeshov was noted down as the scorer. Deytano claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 87 percent.

The most dominating Alay player was without a doubt B. Mashirapov. However, G. Egemkulov made a disastrous appearance. Y. Obogrelov performed admirably for Deytano. Y. Pesenko turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 9.
