The 12000 spectators at
Ballz Out FC Arena were in for an afternoon of sunshine.
Andi Böckeler was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Roberto Manfrin and
Barbu Nedelcu.
A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Ballz.
The following players took the field: Dickens - Mabry, Crouch, Sloan, Rhoads - Vickers, Matos, Vokac, Mcduffie - Jeremy, Dupree.
Orside started off with a 4-4-2 lineup.
Lineup: Gurevitz - Figueroa, Wittken, Wiles, Vanbelle - Carve, 寺島 (Terashima), Verwoert, Tel - Petrescu, Stryja.
The home crowd was not impressed by the fancy moves of Orside's
A. Petrescu after 16 minutes. He converted a pass from the left for a goal, resulting in the visitors taking the 0 - 1 lead.
After 17 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
B. Carve who increased Orside's lead to 0 - 2.
B. Carve increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3.
The home crowd was not impressed when
C. Wittken came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 24 minutes. Orside were now up 0 - 4.
Some fine movement on the left led to a Orside goal after 28 minutes, making it 0 - 5.
B. Carve was noted down as the scorer.
By then
B. Carve had scored three goals - a hat trick!
After this, you could see that the players of Orside were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals.
Halftime score was 0 - 5.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Orside, with 75 percent of the ball.
57 minutes in, Ballz's
L. Rhoads received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first.
R. Vanbelle of Orside had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game.
M. de Oliveira came in to finish the match.
D. Sloan wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat.
After 62 minutes, an incisive pass through the middle gave
S. Verwoert a chance to increase the lead for Orside, and he did not disappoint. The score was then 0 - 6.
With 63 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed
P. Wiles of Orside to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 7.
After 66 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
C. Wittken to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 8.
Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile
Q. Matos.
The visitors'
幸. 寺島 (Terashima) took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 73 minutes into the match. 0 - 9 for Orside.
Orside enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 75 percent of possession.
Most important Ballz player was
F. Jeremy.
On the other hand,
G. Dickens's play was disheartening.
Orside's best player was
幸. 寺島 (Terashima).
M. Gurevitz was a disappointment, however.
The match ends 0 - 9.
