Lineup: Caldas - Tachon, Maaskant, Videmšek - Metcalfe, Vandepaer, Schnölzer, Vrhar, Sikora - Peña, Stirn.

yeaaah tactics involved an interesting 5-4-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Barata - Denning Hansen, Martínez, Oks, Astazi, Uryszek - Anastaciadis, Pank, Eminger, Schmitz-Katze - Volland.

The wings were the focus of most of yeaaah's attacks today. The guests took the lead 7 minutes into the match, after a right-side attack resulted in M. Oks scoring to make it 0 - 1. yeaaah increased their lead after 25 minutes when I. Volland broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. W. Uryszek of yeaaah was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The crowd gasped as H. Peña of mamiblue was flattened by an opponent after 31 minutes and had to be carried off. C. Bunn came in off the bench. mamiblue's M. Vandepaer found himself alone on the left side 38 minutes into the match and laid down a perfect shot - right into the arms of the keeper! It was 0 - 2 at the break. yeaaah had most of the ball, with 55 percent of possession.

C. Anastaciadis came close to extending the visitors' lead when he found himself completely unmarked in front of the goal after a pass through the middle. He tried to lift the ball over G. Caldas but overcooked it and hit the bar instead. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, I. Videmšek got himself booked. The manager of mamiblue was not happy. M. Stirn did everything he could to get one back for his mamiblue, but keeper A. Barata denied him with a spectacular block. M. Stirn challenged the visitors' central defence eagerly, producing a good chance 64 minutes into the game as he went for a through ball. But, as so many times before, the guests' defensive efforts got the best of it. yeaaah were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Some fine movement on the left led to a yeaaah goal after 71 minutes, making it 0 - 3. C. Anastaciadis was noted down as the scorer. 72 minutes in, yeaaah's L. Denning Hansen received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as P. Sikora tried lifting the ball over keeper A. Barata. Unfortunately, the ball went just over the bar. Attacking on the wings was the choice for yeaaah, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. W. Uryszek increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 4. By now, the players in yeaaah felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. A counterattack by yeaaah after 78 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but G. Astazi, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. yeaaah claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

mamiblue's best player was M. Stirn. G. Caldas was a disappointment, however. Most important yeaaah player was E. Pank. M. Oks on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 4.
