Trois_fontaines 2 - 0 Utteloos (388495974)

The 40542 fans in attendance at Saint-Hubert were roasting in the hot sun. Gaetano Renaud was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Wiktor Wilczarski and Teijo Lepistö. Trois_fontaines had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Málek - Maddelein, Cruciani, Kubajka - Eilander, Eicken, Marchetto, Schrooten, Hoeltzenbein - Melichar, Bryl.

A 3-4-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Utteloos. They fielded: Paulyn - Vervoort, Ladrier, Hoylaerts - De Clercq, Decuypere, Van Herck, Grädel - Heuchamps, Boudrez, Bormans.

Trois_fontaines tried to focus their attacks down the middle. After some beautiful movement down the left wing, D. Melichar scored for Trois_fontaines putting them ahead 1 - 0, after 20 minutes. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why L. Vervoort found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. Utteloos had a chance to level the score as H. Van Herck suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. Trois_fontaines had a good opportunity to attack on the wing, but remembered their instructions to go for middle attacks. M. Bormans came close to levelling the score 34 minutes into the game, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post. Halftime score was 1 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Trois_fontaines, with 61 percent of the ball.

The coach of Trois_fontaines was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, S. Dewitte came on for H. Hoeltzenbein. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs F. Eicken found it hard to get back into position. R. Kubajka had a fantastic opportunity to put Trois_fontaines up another goal 65 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. C. Bryl squirmed through their central defence after 76 minutes, increasing the lead to 2 - 0. Trois_fontaines enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

Most important Trois_fontaines player was F. Marchetto. On the other hand, R. Maddelein's play was disheartening. Utteloos's top performer was clearly D. Heuchamps. H. Grädel turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
