HistoriaFC 1 - 3 FK (392718236)

The weather was pretty good, and a crowd of 612 had shown up at History Grounds for the match. Gigi Vulpe was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Patrizio Malzani and Muhamed Messerli. HistoriaFC tactics involved an interesting 4-3-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Barnabé - Collège, Temmerman, Appelmans, Loof - Allaer, Gaeremynck, Vandikkelen - Degeest, Ongenae, Coelho Matos.

FK started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Tandori - Tapani, Hansson, Tillström - Wikborg, van Soldt, Phillips, Brulmans, Håkansson - Fredholt, Godbom.

4 minutes into the match, the visiting FK made the score 0 - 1 after M. Godbom executed a perfect free kick. M. Wikborg of FK took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 26 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. With 27 minutes played, H. Tapani nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. FK had most of the ball, with 80 percent of possession.

With 61 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, M. Hansson needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. After 63 minutes, FK sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached H. Tapani, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 3. FK's A. Tandori refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 79 minutes. HistoriaFC's J. Temmerman got the home crowd going when he finished off a left wing charge, reducing the away team's lead to 1 - 3. FK claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 76 percent.

D. Degeest performed admirably for HistoriaFC. H. Barnabé turned in a dismal performance, however. FK's best player was A. Brulmans. A. Tandori was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 3.
