Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 36000 to
Dalasser Arena.
Periklis Anagnostopoulos was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Rutgerus Akkermans and
Rahim Makhmalbaf.
Dalasse had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation.
The following players had been chosen: Ustrup - Widermo, Menichetti, Jansson - Drøhse, Vinigiu, Olsson, Kalpis, Heywood - Jgerenaia, Vyhňár.
A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Ludlow.
Lineup: Rodsten - Strömborg, Sahler, Vouzakis, Matić - Hallbratt, Askenander, Säfner, Fogeltorp - Torsson, Santiago.
Ludlow were relying on their ability to counter-attack.
Ludlow's
J. Torsson gave the visitors a 0 - 1 lead after 4 minutes with a superb strike from the right.
Ludlow had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 11 minutes, but
N. Matić's shot from the left sailed high over the bar.
Ludlow's
J. Torsson made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 17 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line.
Halftime score was 0 - 1.
Dalasse claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.
Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Dalasse's
G. Vinigiu was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 50 minutes.
C. Romero Velasco was given a chance to change things around.
C. Romero Velasco became the new Dalasse captain.
With 55 minutes played, the Dalasse coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around.
A. Nessjö came on,
E. Olsson had to leave the fray.
The crowd was on its feet 63 minutes into the match, as Dalasse's
L. Jgerenaia found himself unmarked in front of the goal after a dash up the left side. He calmly put away the 1 - 1 equaliser.
After a fine move down the middle
D. Kalpis nearly gave the home side a goal after 65 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide.
I. Sahler of Ludlow received a yellow card after 75 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour.
After 77 minutes of play,
L. Menichetti gave the home team a 2 - 1 lead after an attack coming in from the right.
Dalasse had most of the ball, with 65 percent of possession.
C. Romero Velasco performed admirably for Dalasse.
T. Ustrup on the other hand, had a terrible day.
The most dominating Ludlow player was without a doubt
A. Fogeltorp.
I. Sahler turned in a dismal performance, however.
The match ends 2 - 1.
