los.t3rribl3s were relying on their ability to counter-attack. E. Guichard knocked one home from a counterattack down the right wing, making the score 1 - 0 after 7 minutes. C. Torroni, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. Good work by the los.t3rribl3s defensive line after 23 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found B. Pyndt alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. After 24 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by the_red was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. Always a threat, G. Hooyberghs tore past his marker and placed the ball right at the feet of the waiting C. Torroni who should have easily scored for los.t3rribl3s, but the ball went wide. G. Hooyberghs could have increased the lead after 36 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. los.t3rribl3s's G. Hooyberghs saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 37 minutes. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by the_red, with 56 percent of the ball.

the_red had a chance to level the score as L. Reyes suddenly found himself free in the middle of the box with only the keeper to beat, but he misjudged the finish, and only managed to hit the bar. D. Montoya left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 65 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. F. Brotfeld was the replacement. F. Brotfeld was handed the los.t3rribl3s captain's armband. The game was characterised by rough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but R. Kukovenko showed great heart and had a good game. Content with how the game was proceeding, the los.t3rribl3s coach let A. Szwaczka replace J. Lutz after 80 minutes. the_red's right side looked dangerous 80 minutes in, but G. Gajda made a good save on M. Merli Benedetti's hard shot to the top corner. The swift technical skills of L. Reyes were often too much for the tall but somewhat slow K. Wittig who was humiliated after 81 minutes. He'll be breathing a huge sigh of relief after the final shot went wide. F. Brotfeld had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. the_red enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 56 percent of possession.

los.t3rribl3s's top performer was clearly R. Kukovenko. C. Torroni was a disappointment, however. The most dominating the_red player was without a doubt M. Merli Benedetti. K. Guiry on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 0.
