Clovers 2 - 2 Kiasu (392023534)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 56590 to Grassy Meadow. Octavien Plantard was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Timmy Røkke and Evgenios Pountos. Clovers had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Hunter - Claassen, Fattori, Receveur - Blasco, Deisig, Gabriel, Fezai, Preston - Winter von Adlersflügel, Masar.

Kiasu tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Hußlein - Roche, Cullen, Vasković - Hickman, Bostic, Lance, Rasmussen, Alderman - Cameira, Judge.

The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to C. Receveur, but the Clovers player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! With 35 minutes played, Clovers put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to H. Winter von Adlersflügel, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. The visitors replied 41 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 2 - 1, as I. Roche dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. Clovers's M. Fattori got himself booked for a foul. Halftime score was 2 - 1. Clovers claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

F. Cameira came close to levelling the score 47 minutes into the game, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post. S. Hickman finished off a quick charge from the left of the field by chipping the ball just past the home side's keeper, making the score 2 - 2 64 minutes into the match. As the 70 minute mark approached, the Clovers coach decided it was time for a substitution. M. Hunter reluctantly made way for S. Pasanen on the pitch. S. Pasanen was the new captain of Clovers - handed the armband by the departing player. Clovers had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Clovers's top performer was clearly M. Masar. However, M. Gabriel made a disastrous appearance. Most important Kiasu player was N. Lance. B. Hußlein was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 2.
