Xanthic 4 - 0 HCVD (393440065)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Taipei Dome saw a crowd turnout of 2419. Pablo Martínez was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Evan Barrett-Jolley and Karst Koster. Xanthic had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. The following players had been chosen: Pap - Bukkems, 仲江 (Zhongjiang), 順靖 (Shunjing), Koralp - Cian, 暉善 (Huishan), 爾江 (Erjiang), 啟耀 (Qiyao), König - 南 (Nan).

HCVD tactics involved an interesting 2-5-3 combination. The following players took the field: Velashjerdi - Shelukhin, Natoli - Sáu, Ngọc Hải, Đông Dũng, Tchomogo, Đạo Thành - Trung Phùng, Bhatnagar, Arenas.

HCVD clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. HCVD's D. Đông Dũng could have put the guests one up after 2 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but P. Pap was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. Xanthic took the lead 16 minutes in, as P. König broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. The referee showed Xanthic's 汪. 仲江 (Zhongjiang) the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. With 32 minutes played, Xanthic put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to 謝. 爾江 (Erjiang), who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Confident in their lead, Xanthic's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Xanthic enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 61 percent of possession.

60 minutes in, Xanthic's A. Cian received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. A loud groan was heard from the fans of HCVD, as N. Ngọc Hải left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. N. Gottlieb took his place on the field. A well-executed free kick by 謝. 爾江 (Erjiang) after 63 minutes made it 3 - 0 for Xanthic. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Arenas got himself booked. The manager of HCVD was not happy. Xanthic managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when G. Bukkems cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Possession in this half belonged to Xanthic, who controlled the ball 65 percent of the time.

Xanthic's top performer was clearly 譚. 南 (Nan). 汪. 仲江 (Zhongjiang) turned in a dismal performance, however. D. Đông Dũng performed admirably for HCVD. On the other hand, R. Velashjerdi's play was disheartening. The match ends 4 - 0.
