Vinz 1 - 3 WAAK (393230512)

311 spectators had come to Vinz Arena this cloudy day. Armand Delamare was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Bogdan Kac and Markus Hammer. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Vinz. They fielded: Isambert - Rodrigues, Philtjens, Plagne, Arts - Spinnewyn, Lima Ferreira, Szut, Masyn - Vrancken, Schmitz.

WAAK tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players took the field: Lucas - Gorzy, Nossent, Mottet - Brewée, Van Buggenhoudt, Ramírez, Debay, Dolarroga - Daems, Cornelis.

After 3 minutes, Vinz's G. Schmitz fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! After 22 minutes, WAAK's J. Brewée made his way through the middle and nonchalantly placed the ball out of the keeper's reach, putting the visitors up 0 - 1. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, M. Daems would have put WAAK up another goal 24 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. Halftime score was 0 - 1. Possession in this half belonged to WAAK, who controlled the ball 67 percent of the time.

Some things can only be learned through experience, and T. Mottet should take his lesson to heart after nearly gifting Vinz a goal with 50 minutes of the match played. Vinz's E. Plagne was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 70 minutes. After a scuffle in the guests' penalty area 73 minutes into the game, the home team was awarded a penalty. R. Philtjens scored to make it 1 - 1. Down the middle came A. Ramírez, making a fantastic play that nearly had WAAK take the lead after 78 minutes, but C. Isambert preserved the tie. After 86 minutes, WAAK put themselves up 1 - 2, as P. Dolarroga finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. WAAK increased their lead after 87 minutes when M. Daems broke through on the right, upping the score to 1 - 3, much to the home crowd's dismay. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by WAAK, with 71 percent of the ball.

Y. Vrancken performed admirably for Vinz. However, C. Isambert made a disastrous appearance. Most important WAAK player was M. Daems. On the other hand, D. Nossent's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 3.
