Maladechna 0 - 6 Estudiantes (388076891)

7000 punters turned up at Maladechna Stadium, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came. Pål Winther was the appointed referee with assistance provided by César Mateo and Régis Gaudel. Maladechna had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Kanaval'chyk - Maksimkau, Val'cheuski, Lozovskiy, Kazliak - Pokrywczyński, Timin, Kazachak, Labazevich - Yakovenko, Saladounikau.

Estudiantes started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. They fielded: Gjana - Kunalić, Tsyplakou, Duplessy - Oad, Vulker, Al-Kaleel, Riccio - Rosenberg, Mikhaylenko, Monteiro Figueiredo.

Today, Estudiantes's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. D. Kazliak behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 24 minutes as he gave the ball away to K. Oad. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. Estudiantes's A. Monteiro Figueiredo got himself booked for a foul. It was obvious that Estudiantes had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. Estudiantes took the lead after 31 minutes making the score 0 - 1. K. Oad placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. 35 minutes into the game, J. Pokrywczyński had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came J. Ivandzikau. Estudiantes had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. After 39 minutes of game time, G. Mikhaylenko had an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors' lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but Z. Kanaval'chyk was in the right place and tipped the ball over for a corner. P. Saladounikau almost seemed to dance around E. Duplessy, his movements were so smooth. Unfortunately for Maladechna, his finish ended up on the wrong side of the post. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Estudiantes, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. The home crowd was not impressed when G. Mikhaylenko came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 41 minutes. Estudiantes were now up 0 - 2. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Estudiantes, with 59 percent of the ball.

After 50 minutes, Estudiantes's S. Tsyplakou burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. E. Duplessy received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 54 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 4. The Estudiantes fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The players of Estudiantes now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The Estudiantes free kick 76 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 G. Riccio, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 5! Estudiantes were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. K. Oad of Estudiantes took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 78 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 6. Possession in this half belonged to Estudiantes, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

The most dominating Maladechna player was without a doubt P. Saladounikau. On the other hand, Z. Kanaval'chyk's play was disheartening. Most important Estudiantes player was K. Oad. S. Tsyplakou on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 6.
