Lobo 1 - 4 Vaal (391543571)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 32593 that came out to Toca do Lobo. Samuli Jaaro was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Per Hansson and Jens Eggstål. Lobo tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. Lineup: Safir - Žitnik, Shestikhin, Juskowiak, Sidendahl - Puschhaus, Wolfs, Donlevy, Bade, Boldró - Wickerberg.

Vaal had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Kovač - 双财 (Shuangcai), Lekimeju, Greim - Constantin, Passarotto, Carioca, Ertuna, van Adrichem - Soares Ramos, Spidsø.

Lobo immediately set off using their skill at pressing their opponents. With 6 minutes played, Vaal's K. van Adrichem missed an opportunity to put his team one up from the penalty spot, later claiming that "the floodlights blinded him". Lobo's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 26 minutes, Vaal did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, A. Soares Ramos was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 0 - 1. A handball in the penalty area gave the home team a penalty 36 minutes into the match, and K. Bade was able to score, taking the scoreline to 1 - 1. 37 minutes in, Vaal's A. Soares Ramos received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. K. van Adrichem came close to putting the visiting team one up 38 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but İ. Safir managed to tip the ball to a corner. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Vaal, with 57 percent of the ball.

The intense heat forced H. Donlevy into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. The guests took the lead 60 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in 宋. 双财 (Shuangcai) scoring to make it 1 - 2. After 63 minutes, Vaal's 宋. 双财 (Shuangcai) burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 1 - 3. Some fine movement on the left led to a Vaal goal after 66 minutes, making it 1 - 4. W. Lekimeju was noted down as the scorer. After this, you could see that the players of Vaal were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Vaal enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 58 percent of possession.

H. Donlevy performed admirably for Lobo. However, R. Puschhaus made a disastrous appearance. Vaal's top performer was clearly T. Spidsø. W. Lekimeju was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
