Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 23741 at FC DLUZYN 1977 today. Henrique Rosa was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vitorino Silva and Kurt Koester.

Brynas started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: van Weerden - Thomas, Jitjai, Giso - Mantle, Luther, Brinsley, Bell, Gielnik - Barnes, Arellano.

DLUZYN1977 seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. 27 minutes in, DLUZYN1977 appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. A. Mantle came close to putting the visiting team one up 33 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but M. Uher managed to tip the ball to a corner. 42 minutes into the match, the DLUZYN1977 manager wanted to try a new tactic, and the players loyally obliged. Brynas took the lead after 42 minutes making the score 0 - 1. D. Bell placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. 0 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Brynas, with 55 percent of the ball.

The coach gave his players an extra tactical briefing during the break, and after that DLUZYN1977 had solid organisation. 47 minutes into the match, T. Barnes came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. The corner kick from R. Jones was powerfully met by the head of B. Stoskeliūnas to make the score 1 - 1. DLUZYN1977 were very close to putting themselves one up after 68 minutes as C. Raynaud got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. 74 minutes into the game, DLUZYN1977 seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a weak level of organisation. D. Bell had a good opportunity to give Brynas the lead as he charged down the right and struck the ball towards the top corner, but the home team's goalkeeper made the save. Brynas's R. Jitjai got himself booked for a foul. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 79 minutes into the match left Brynas's D. Bell completely free to score. 1 - 2 for the visitors. Brynas made it 1 - 3 as M. Arellano got a touch to the floated corner kick and flicked the ball to D. Bell who whipped a low drive in off the far post. By then D. Bell had scored three goals - a hat trick! After 82 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave R. Brinsley a chance to increase the lead for Brynas, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 1 - 4. Brynas enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

D. Narváez performed admirably for DLUZYN1977. K. Veldkamp turned in a dismal performance, however. Brynas's best player was M. Arellano. A. Mantle on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 4.
