Windycity 0 - 7 United (392707886)

Clear skies welcomed the 12000 spectators who had made their way to Menace Field. Marcos 'Apache' Encuentra was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Boldizsár Berke and Jobias Gommans. Windycity started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Tapramaz - Botello, De Gregorio, Tompkins - Marchena, Manyes, Lisinszky, Rozanov, Céspedes - Gonzales, Echandía.

United had chosen a strategic 3-4-3 formation. Lineup: Prezerakos - Ţicleanu, Calaiò, Grozdanić - Johansson, Werłos, Houfflin, Wąchalski - Toifl, Cook, Wallis.

After 1 minutes, the United coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving N. Prezerakos off the field. O. Quatrilho took his place. After 19 minutes, United put themselves up 0 - 1, as N. Wallis finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. F. Toifl of United was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 31 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for I. Grozdanić who increased United's lead to 0 - 2. At this point, it was obvious that the players of United lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. P. Johansson of United received a yellow card after 33 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 36 minutes, United's F. Toifl burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3. 38 minutes into the game, Y. Houfflin finished off a United left wing counterattack, making the score 0 - 4. Windycity's S. Lisinszky was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 39 minutes. 40 minutes into the game a free kick by N. Wallis found its way through the home side's poorly assembled defensive formation, making United's lead 0 - 5. 0 - 5 was the score after the first half. United claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

P. Johansson left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 46 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. B. Oglesby was the replacement. The coach of United was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, I. Staton came on for E. Calaiò. The home crowd was not impressed when F. Toifl came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 63 minutes. United were now up 0 - 6. F. Toifl received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 68 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 7. The United fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. This third goal completed a hattrick for F. Toifl. United's I. Grozdanić was shown a yellow card after 78 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Possession in this half belonged to United, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

Most important Windycity player was C. Céspedes. G. Tapramaz on the other hand, had a terrible day. United's top performer was clearly Y. Houfflin. B. Oglesby was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 7.
