Stradom 0 - 2 jimmy2 (390060177)

The crowd of 42008 turning up at Highway to Hell today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Aimé De Laender was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Erik Bootz and Antonio Aladro. Stradom had chosen a strategic 5-3-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Bonetti - Jeverdan, Robertsson, Zholudev, Sabag, Bermúdez - Oniszk, Mišić, Nyberg - Faro, Wotsch.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for jimmy2. The following players took the field: Saint-André - Narganes, 翊颂 (Yisong), Męczykowski - Gomes Neto, White, Plasier, Oughton, Davidsen - 敦良 (Dunliang), Verkerck.

Stradom mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. It was an obvious ambition of jimmy2 to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. Making his way up the middle 16 minutes into the match, G. Bermúdez almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert O. Saint-André blocked it to keep the score level. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of jimmy2's H. Gomes Neto after 26 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. J. Robertsson didn't let the weather get him down and made some great moves on the pitch in spite of the rain. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to jimmy2, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

51 minutes into the game, J. Robertsson came close to levelling the score with a dangerous shot from the centre of the area that went just over the bar. After 60 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed J. Narganes to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 2. K. Oniszk, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. Stradom's F. Nyberg had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 82 minutes having been played. P. Babel was the replacement. Players in jimmy2 heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. jimmy2's A. Męczykowski made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 84 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. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by jimmy2, with 52 percent of the ball.

J. Robertsson performed admirably for Stradom. On the other hand, G. Faro's play was disheartening. Most important jimmy2 player was C. Oughton. A. Męczykowski on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 2.
