Night 1 - 0 FC_Galychyna (388024795)

Due to an all-day shower, 38177 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at Night Team Arena. Per Klangbrant was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Peter Fredsjö and Hendrie Paarlberg. Night started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Kubrak - Vogel, Ben-Zvi, Frances - Simonin, Hacheridi, Scaletti, Romanov, Konovalov - Rostovskiy, Mirošević.

FC_Galychyna had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Hauge - Fakir, Nath, Maex - Allahkurtardı, Christiansen, Pregršt, Bonheure, Marroquín - Crespo, Apiaú.

Today, FC_Galychyna's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. Many thought M. Vogel ought to have been awarded a penalty 7 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around K. Hauge after a determined run through the middle. After a fine move down the middle D. Ben-Zvi nearly gave the home side a goal after 13 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. Some great play up the middle by Night led to a chance for D. Scaletti to score after 17 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. The referee showed FC_Galychyna's R. Pregršt the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Unfortunately for Night, O. Kubrak was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. J. Zinovik replaced him. Night could have put themselves ahead after 27 minutes but S. Rostovskiy missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. 32 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Night to take the lead after a good cross from the right found S. Rostovskiy alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. It was 0 - 0 at the break. Night had most of the ball, with 68 percent of possession.

The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to S. Rostovskiy, but the Night player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! After 63 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by X. Frances might have resulted in another goal for Night. However, K. Hauge made a spectacular save. O. Mirošević did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. After 78 minutes FC_Galychyna's J. Crespo limped slightly after a late challenge, but he was able to continue. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Night, with 68 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Night player was without a doubt D. Ben-Zvi. O. Mirošević on the other hand, had a terrible day. R. Apiaú performed admirably for FC_Galychyna. On the other hand, E. Christiansen's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 0.
