Pichaim's finish was met by the reaching hands of the keeper. 0 - 2 was the halftime score. Wheyman claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 61 percent.

N. Hajari was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. P.
