Destined 0 - 2 Super (390060215)

The 22898 spectators at Norfolk N Chance Arena were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Hannu Hoyer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Gregor Liebhauser and Baltasar Ferrari. Destined had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Ibatici - Uçkan, Kwakman, Csincsák - Parry, Fidesser, Trigo, Rea, Weselski - Looverie, Duplan.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Super. They fielded: Jurský - Grannes, Kolthoff, van Kas, Wilhelmsen - Mallone, Zinque, Kabić, Wiegel - Ketola, Gius.

Destined mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Destined's E. Rea tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. Super had a great opportunity to score following a counterattack after 25 minutes, but J. Wilhelmsen's shot from the left sailed high over the bar. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 26 minutes allowed R. Wiegel to score for Super. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. Halftime score was 0 - 1. This part of the game was a standoff between the teams in terms of possession.

As usual, M. Ketola tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. Super came close to extending their lead as P. Gius delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 54 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. R. Wiegel's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert P. Gius was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for Super. 0 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to Destined, who controlled the ball 53 percent of the time.

The most dominating Destined player was without a doubt S. Uçkan. M. Parry was a disappointment, however. S. Mallone performed admirably for Super. However, M. Ketola made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 2.
