Theloser 1 - 5 Blue Fire (393133090)

Dark skies made the crowd of 2698 at Harry Potter's Stadium a little nervous, but the rain held off. Wiebe Heinsbroek was the appointed referee. Theloser started off with a 4-3-3 lineup. They fielded: Vidiri - Hao Jing, Yi Soon, bin Hassan, Qiang Kian - An Jun, Poojari, Kim Su - Hafiz, Hisyam, Mohammad Abbas.

Blue Fire decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. The following players took the field: Angulo - Nin, Parreño, Auzoux - Stollberg, Grudzień, Sterntaler, Jansson, Hättenschwiler - Grollier, Caccia.

Blue Fire saw most attack opportunities on the wings. A mistake by the home side's central defence after 12 minutes allowed K. Stollberg to score for Blue Fire. The scoreboard now read 0 - 1. It was obvious that Blue Fire had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. With 21 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed T. Jansson of Blue Fire to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 2. After 23 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed J. Grollier to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. The home crowd was not impressed when T. Caccia came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 29 minutes. Blue Fire were now up 0 - 4. The players of Blue Fire now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. A penalty was missed by Blue Fire's T. Caccia 35 minutes into the match. Probably overconfident, he blasted a hard shot miles outside of the left post. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, I. Hisyam got himself booked. The manager of Theloser was not happy. It was 0 - 4 at the break. Possession in this half belonged to Blue Fire, who controlled the ball 70 percent of the time.

The Blue Fire players could smell victory in the air. J. Grollier wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for J. Hase after 46 minutes. The corner kick from M. Hafiz was powerfully met by the head of K. Mohammad Abbas to make the score 1 - 4. Blue Fire were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Theloser had to make a substitution after 68 minutes. Y. Qiang Kian limped off the field and was replaced by C. How Liang. The visitors' J. Parreño took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 69 minutes into the match. 1 - 5 for Blue Fire. Blue Fire had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. K. Stollberg left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 77 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. V. Amatriain was the replacement. 79 minutes into the match Blue Fire's T. Jansson viciously shoved another player from behind while going for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. M. Hafiz of Theloser had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. V. Kanjilal came in to finish the match. J. Hättenschwiler wanted to play on, but the Blue Fire coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 81 minutes into the game by H. Maitre. Blue Fire had most of the ball, with 73 percent of possession.

The most dominating Theloser player was without a doubt K. Mohammad Abbas. However, A. bin Hassan made a disastrous appearance. Blue Fire's best player was T. Sterntaler. C. Angulo on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 5.
