Spectre 2 - 2 MU (387174734)

55024 spectators arrived at Unreal Stadium, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Rafał Boczek was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Santiago Ballesta and Johan Ferre. Spectre started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Polica - Zúñiga, Zamfirescu, Gounopoulos, Babazhanov - Morev, Dulatov, Shalkar, Zhurovich, Zhulanov - Valente.

MU had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Kubiesa - Eisenhut, Klamma, Truelsen - Baytulenov, Beitnoras, Emborg, Bartonek, Koryak - Ciuffi, Ballester Cardell.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Spectre. MU saw most attack opportunities on the wings. After 3 minutes, Spectre sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached Z. Valente, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 1 - 0. A. Koryak's speed was almost enough to give MU a goal after 25 minutes, but his nice pass to A. Ballester Cardell was not taken care of properly. An equalising goal seemed certain after 28 minutes when D. Baytulenov attacked down the left wing, but F. Polica just managed to make a save to keep the ball out of the net. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as MU's C. Ciuffi put the ball in the onion bag after 35 minutes to make it 1 - 1. It was 1 - 1 at the break. MU had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

46 minutes into the game, Spectre wanted to bring some new energy to their game. A. Zhulanov gave V. Mashentsev a quick hug as he left the field. 75 minutes into the game, A. Ballester Cardell was a hair's breadth away from giving MU the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by F. Polica saved the home team that time. Players in MU heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. MU's A. Ballester Cardell gave the visitors a 1 - 2 lead after 81 minutes with a superb strike from the right. Spectre were awarded a penalty with 87 minutes played, and K. Dulatov made no mistake as he effortlessly slotted the equaliser home. 2 - 2. MU enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

Most important Spectre player was L. Zhurovich. V. Mashentsev was a disappointment, however. MU's top performer was clearly A. Ballester Cardell. U. Beitnoras on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 2.
