Lucky 0 - 0 Breda (390297937)

The 30079 spectators at Lucky's arena tilburg were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Dani Noth was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jorge Salazar and Joachim Friedrich 'Alemão' Bahrfeldt. People from all over Noord-Brabant had joined up for the derby. Lucky decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Lineup: Lim - Grainger, Pront, Perales - Czub, Benne, Jenayah, Grądziel, Grüner - Fransz, Sarabia.

Breda started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Ollivier - Zobka, Rondelli, Mencattini, Gießhalle, Fijoł - Grevesmühlen, Cresti, Eberhard - Roselli, Gobantes.

Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Breda. At 16 minutes played, M. Sarabia came in from the right with the intention of giving Lucky the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. Good work by the Breda defensive line after 17 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found J. Cresti alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. With 28 minutes gone, K. Fijoł suddenly found himself completely free on the right wing when a counterattack by Breda caught their opponents by surprise. Only a great save by the opposing keeper prevented him from scoring. Slack defending gave Lucky a chance to take the lead with 30 minutes played, but B. Benne's cross from the left flank was fumbled in front of the goal and easily dealt with by the opposition. The referee showed Lucky's C. Grüner the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Lucky, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

T. Eberhard didn't pace himself at all, and after a series of daring offensive runs he was too tired to help out in the defensive play. Lucky were very close to putting themselves one up after 77 minutes as W. Czub got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Lucky could have put themselves ahead after 80 minutes but M. Sarabia missed a volley shot on a ball coming in from the right. 84 minutes into the game, J. Cresti was a hair's breadth away from giving Breda the lead with a shot from over on the left. A prompt block by S. Lim saved the home team that time. Lucky had a magnificent opportunity after 86 minutes as H. Grainger hit the ball hard from the edge of the penalty box. However, the shot went wide. Lucky had most of the ball, with 71 percent of possession.

B. Fransz performed admirably for Lucky. On the other hand, W. Czub's play was disheartening. The most dominating Breda player was without a doubt I. Zobka. A. Ollivier turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 0.
