MLI3370 0 - 5 TeamAlpha (392898227)

Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 474 at Oldtrafford today. Bendegúz Makula was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Arnold Maxen and Vitus Casal. MLI3370 had chosen a strategic 4-3-3 formation. They fielded: Cividáns - Nijmeijer, Masdeu, Tsolakopoulos, Knapstad - Lengyel, Dirnhofer, Panev - Betim, Ducept, Delplace.

TeamAlpha tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Seistrup - Amiri, Thannabaur, Figueiredo - Alves, Litwiński, Sartor, Erd, De Vito - Orellana, Mignozzi.

MLI3370 seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of TeamAlpha. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 7 minutes into the match, and F. Orellana wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for MLI3370, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. MLI3370 tried to even things up by sending a long ball towards the centrally placed strikers, but the visitors' defence got the best of this rather direct style of play. 0 - 1 was the halftime score. TeamAlpha claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 63 percent.

Just a few inches to the right, and the visitors could have had a goal 68 minutes into the match. F. Orellana surely wishes he could do that free kick over again. F. Orellana of TeamAlpha took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 77 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 2. C. Mignozzi increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. With 79 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed M. Litwiński of TeamAlpha to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4. A drive down the left side allowed C. Mignozzi to get in close and score another goal for TeamAlpha after 80 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 5. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by TeamAlpha, with 68 percent of the ball.

The most dominating MLI3370 player was without a doubt M. Betim. A. Delplace on the other hand, had a terrible day. F. Orellana performed admirably for TeamAlpha. V. Alves was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 5.
