Obywatele 0 - 1 Gruntfuttock (390067902)

18685 spectators arrived at Pawcio Stadium, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Milan Grkinić was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Christopher Browne and Tom Götz. Obywatele had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. Starters: Salzen - Verdún, Huben, Takamura, Luck, Remédio - Stephenson, Fernández Larrea, Granja, Heaton - Patiño.

Gruntfuttock tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Ortíz - Al-Shurman, Loebbeke, Galvin, Lockyear - Nigro, Doone, Irwin, Vašátko - Wiklund, Southwood.

For their match strategy, Obywatele had decided to use their ability to counter-attack whenever possible. S. Wiklund had a good try after 34 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, B. Luck got himself booked. The manager of Obywatele was not happy. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Obywatele, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

The visiting R. Loebbeke was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 70 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. The referee showed Gruntfuttock's P. Galvin the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Unfortunately for Obywatele, J. Verdún was injured when the game became more physical, and he had to leave the field. D. Tortorp replaced him. C. Takamura was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Obywatele with a strike from the left, but J. Ortíz managed to ward the shot off for a corner. Obywatele had most of the ball, with 51 percent of possession.

The most dominating Obywatele player was without a doubt G. Fernández Larrea. D. Tortorp was a disappointment, however. Gruntfuttock's top performer was clearly J. Ortíz. However, D. Lockyear made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 1.
