Radłowskie 0 - 1 Hampstead (392034809)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 40601 that came out to Radlowska Arena. Calvin Elias Perian was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Daimen Asselberghs and Fadri Ringenberg. Radłowskie tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Grammont - Vicković, Leitão, Romahn - Maszejko, Kauppila, Bulenda, Hendriksma, Gibler - Hašek, Finozzi.

Hampstead had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Ciondoloni - Dobókői, Cucer, Vjakse - Pastonchi, Kendall, Depotter, Sayhan, Pajulahti - Ezcurra, Rada.

Radłowskie's G. Finozzi tried to break through in the middle repeatedly, but couldn't get past the visitors' defenders. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why L. Kendall found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Hampstead's T. Depotter after 14 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead. Radłowskie's Ž. Hašek almost tied things up with 33 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. After 39 minutes, R. Kauppila got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from A. Rada after 39 minutes, and prevented Hampstead from going up another goal. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to Radłowskie, who controlled the ball 52 percent of the time.

After 50 minutes, Radłowskie switched Ž. Hašek with C. bin Jaafar, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. G. Cucer was, after 53 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper J. Grammont made the save. No matter how hard he tried, R. Gibler just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 57 minutes. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, H. Sayhan got himself booked. The manager of Hampstead was not happy. T. Luhtaniemi was called on to replace Hampstead's A. Ezcurra after 60 minutes following a nasty collision. The fierce heat made it important to save breath, and after a few swift runs T. Luhtaniemi found it hard to get back into position. 63 minutes into the game, Hampstead worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. Hampstead's L. Kendall was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 76 minutes. G. Finozzi made a superb strike after 77 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors' defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Radłowskie, with 52 percent of the ball.

Radłowskie's top performer was clearly R. Gibler. D. Romahn was a disappointment, however. The most dominating Hampstead player was without a doubt L. Kendall. T. Luhtaniemi turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
