Brothers 8 - 0 mahbubur (387173616)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 51428 to KFC Arena. Akıner Büyüka was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Cristian Gorrieri and Giovanni Lodi. Brothers had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Hermann - Zampieri, op den Buijs, Gustavsson - Solleveld, Seba, Zijm, Méndez Melgar, Walendzik - Afridi, Qadri.

mahbubur decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. The following players had been chosen: Torresan - Lauscher, Tedoldi, Grysiewicz, Ballart - Haque, Salewski, Huzzard, Cuccureddu, Moreau - Zamberletti.

mahbubur clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. 1 minutes into the match, the mahbubur manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 15 minutes, Brothers did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, A. Qadri was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 1 - 0. 24 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as N. Seba broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Brothers. Confident in their lead, Brothers's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. With 37 minutes played, Brothers's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to B. Afridi he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 3 - 0. The Brothers free kick 38 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of B. Afridi, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 4 - 0! 4 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Brothers, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Brothers's B. Afridi increasing the lead to 5 - 0. That made three goals for B. Afridi and he was marked down for the hat trick. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. T. Solleveld squirmed through their central defence after 65 minutes, increasing the lead to 6 - 0. It might be a while before the fans see Brothers's K. op den Buijs again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 68 minute mark. He was replaced by F. Delprat. Brothers managed to extend their lead to 7 - 0 when A. Qadri cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. With 76 minutes played, Brothers put themselves up 8 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to T. Solleveld, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Brothers's N. Seba left the field after 77 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was G. Capossela. 84 minutes into the game, M. Méndez Melgar had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came H. Adriaens. Brothers enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 63 percent of possession.

A. Qadri performed admirably for Brothers. However, K. Hermann made a disastrous appearance. mahbubur's top performer was clearly W. Salewski. On the other hand, A. Tedoldi's play was disheartening. The match ends 8 - 0.
