Cruel 1 - 2 kalaat (392979991)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 1857 to De Meer. Nireas Ioannidis was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Einar Folkvord and Luca Marras. Cruel started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Mellino - Correa, Heybey, Telese - Talmor, Buitenkant, Roncisvalle, van de Arend, Enache - Geusendam, Hoepmans.

A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for kalaat. The following players took the field: Pedersen - Højer, Pardo, Hasselbalch, Rantala - Suosalo, Di Domenico, Rampinelli, Larsen - Kiełkowicz, Padial.

Cruel were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. It was an obvious ambition of kalaat to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by T. Højer. At last, kalaat's J. Larsen was able to backheel the ball in. 0 - 1. Cruel's A. Geusendam made an attempt at equalising 30 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. The home crowd was not impressed when R. Padial came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 38 minutes. kalaat were now up 0 - 2. 41 minutes in, Cruel's C. van de Arend received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 0 - 2 was the score after the first half. kalaat claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 53 percent.

After 62 minutes, kalaat's T. Højer fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from C. Di Domenico after 69 minutes, and prevented kalaat from going up another goal. 72 minutes into the match, Cruel's C. van de Arend collected a ball sent down the right and put it in the back of the net, narrowing the score to 1 - 2. T. Vangsgaard was called on to replace Cruel's A. Roncisvalle after 73 minutes following a nasty collision. Cruel enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

T. Vangsgaard performed admirably for Cruel. M. Correa on the other hand, had a terrible day. kalaat's top performer was clearly A. Kiełkowicz. B. Pedersen was a disappointment, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
