sellidere clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. The rain made it hard for players like T. Ehbauer to show their technical control of the ball on this soggy day. The F.C.Mostrencos free kick 17 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of B. Cabral, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 1! After 29 minutes, F.C.Mostrencos's H. Oertzen burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. F.C.Mostrencos's K. Justine made it through the home team's defence on the right hand side 36 minutes into the match. After rounding the keeper, he only had to place the ball in the unguarded goal when a defender slid in and cleared the ball off the line. With 39 minutes played, E. Palatürk of sellidere fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from M. Zamfir after 44 minutes, and prevented F.C.Mostrencos from going up another goal. V. Pacult spent most of the time in a heap on the ground today, his normally rapid movement hindered by the slippery pitch. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 2. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by F.C.Mostrencos, with 69 percent of the ball.

At this point, it was obvious that the players of F.C.Mostrencos lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. With the scoreboard showing that 66 minutes had been played, F.C.Mostrencos nearly put themselves up another goal after E. Basiger came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. The F.C.Mostrencos players could smell victory in the air. V. Pacult wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Faure after 70 minutes. F.C.Mostrencos claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.
