burç showed off their creative tactics. Sporting tried to focus their attacks down the middle. 6 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for burç to take the lead after a good cross from the right found H. Özenç alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. After 12 minutes, Sporting put themselves up 0 - 1, as W. Melanchthon finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. O. Ahrweiler did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like F. Zadulski. It was 0 - 1 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Sporting, who controlled the ball 59 percent of the time.

Some things can only be learned through experience, and Ş. Kırık should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Sporting a goal with 62 minutes of the match played. A drive down the left side allowed C. Révay to get in close and score another goal for Sporting after 63 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. burç needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 71 minutes R. Linares made way for C. Kačenka. The visitors' B. Cundari took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 71 minutes into the match. 0 - 3 for Sporting. After this, you could see that the players of Sporting were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. With 72 minutes played, the burç coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. M. Ahmed came on, F. Josefsson had to leave the fray. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, burç's G. Medit was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 75 minutes. F. Cardoso was given a chance to change things around. M. Ahmed made a nice dash down the wing after 75 minutes, but was unable to get the cross into the box. A goal kick was awarded. 82 minutes into the match, K. Radeke came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. The home crowd cheered when, after 83 minutes, W. Morse's charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. The home crowd was not impressed when K. Radeke came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 85 minutes. Sporting were now up 0 - 4. Sporting claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

C. Kačenka performed admirably for burç. Ş. Kırık turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important Sporting player was T. Känkänen. On the other hand, 温. 彤 (Tong)'s play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 4.
