Rouches 0 - 1 SCHUDDERTJES (388492615)

It had rained all day, but 35252 hardy fans still made it out to Stade Guy Hellers. Józef Dyczek was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Julio Testa and Torben Daams. Rouches tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Laflin-Barker - Grajal, Temmerman, Miranda - Trekels, Yáñez, Hodaň, Brasseur, Vanmol - Renquin, Schörghofer.

SCHUDDERTJES started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: De Wachter - Wauquier, Delbart, Delfosse - Bartholomeus, Nourry, Pirlot, Lyssens, Maréchal - Huyghe, Peelman.

SCHUDDERTJES used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. The rain made it hard for players like H. Schörghofer to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Rouches, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Rouches made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in on the right hand side left J. Miranda completely alone with keeper J. De Wachter, who made a spectacular block. 64 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Rouches substitution. M. Ferreira Neves came on for G. Vanmol. L. Yáñez would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. V. Guerra entered the game for Rouches as the match clock showed 68 minutes. G. Huyghe's speed is always a threat when he gets a little room to move, and 68 minutes into the match was no different as he broke free of his man to send a delightful through ball to I. Peelman who knocked it in for SCHUDDERTJES. 0 - 1! G. Huyghe slipped and slithered in the wet grass. His usual rapid runs were nowhere to be seen today. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for SCHUDDERTJES, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. There was concern in the stands when, at the 78 minute mark, SCHUDDERTJES's G. Huyghe hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Thighs bulging, R. Grajal charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. R. Grajal made a superb strike after 84 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Rouches had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

The most dominating Rouches player was without a doubt I. Hodaň. However, M. Ferreira Neves made a disastrous appearance. SCHUDDERTJES's best player was G. Huyghe. A. Delbart on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
