Night 0 - 3 Snich2009 (388024768)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Night Team Arena saw a crowd turnout of 43429. Ricco Woolfenden was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Toni Garnelo and Vicente Revilla. All of Kyiv was shut down for the day, as fans of both clubs came to the derby. Night tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Kubrak - Börjesson, Ben-Zvi, Frances - Romanov, Vogel, Scaletti, Hacheridi, Konovalov - Galabala, Mirošević.

Snich2009 had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. They fielded: Machogan - Durko, Talmácsi, Thomsen - Jasmim, Eisenhardt, Timm, Mocarski - Andeade, Meyrat, Filipescu.

Snich2009 tried to focus their attacks down the middle. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for Snich2009, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. Snich2009 took the lead 18 minutes into the game, making the score 0 - 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. D. Filipescu was the scorer. Snich2009 were determined to attack in the middle, even their wing attacks ended up centrally. The visitors' R. Jasmim took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 36 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for Snich2009. Halftime score was 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Night, with 56 percent of the ball.

The coach of Snich2009 was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, T. Putaala came on for C. Timm. F. Eisenhardt was handed the Snich2009 captain's armband. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Snich2009 coach let G. Kolesnik replace H. Thomsen after 46 minutes. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from D. Filipescu after 47 minutes, and prevented Snich2009 from going up another goal. G. Kolesnik hit the corner kick straight to the keeper, but it was mishandled, giving Snich2009's G. Durko an easy chance to knock it in for 0 - 3. G. Durko wanted to play on, but the Snich2009 coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 57 minutes into the game by T. Rychkov. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Snich2009 lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave V. Galabala from Night a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 71 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! R. Jasmim's knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for Snich2009, he bravely continued in the match. Possession in this half belonged to Night, who controlled the ball 56 percent of the time.

D. Ben-Zvi performed admirably for Night. However, T. Börjesson made a disastrous appearance. Most important Snich2009 player was G. Talmácsi. On the other hand, B. Mocarski's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 3.
