Meteorus 0 - 1 Dexa (392704693)

The 37008 fans in attendance at Meteorus Stadium were roasting in the hot sun. Patrick van Asseldonk was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Daniel Weyer and Morten Flodflod. Meteorus had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Kiel - Sardone, Soler, dos Reis - Neves Lima, Narvišas, Urso, Bailer, Pereira - Cuadrat, Ganoya.

Dexa tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Gur - Logothetidis, Håkansson, Thomas - Andresen, D'Ávila, Furacão, Viladelbosch, Schymitzek - Malviccino, Benelli.

Using their counter-attacking abilities was the strategy of choice for Dexa. The sun seemed to put A. D'Ávila in a great mood, and he showed off his technical skills all match long. Meteorus had a good opportunity to take the lead as P. Cuadrat came up the left side, but he struck the ball weakly and it went straight into the arms of T. Gur. 26 minutes into the match, Dexa nearly took the lead, as K. Schymitzek broke through on the right. P. Kiel made the save, however. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Possession in this half belonged to Dexa, who controlled the ball 51 percent of the time.

The sunny day didn't make things easy for G. Malviccino who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. Dexa took the lead after 68 minutes making the score 0 - 1. G. Benelli placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 71 minutes, Meteorus used a short break in the game to take new instructions from their coach. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, W. Furacão would have put Dexa up another goal 72 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. As the match clock reached 86 minutes, Dexa's organisation began to suffer due to a lack of experience. Dexa claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

P. Kiel performed admirably for Meteorus. G. Urso turned in a dismal performance, however. Dexa's best player was G. Benelli. W. Furacão on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 1.
