warriors clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. Thighs bulging, O. Beard charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. One of many good crosses from G. Bogdán on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by F. Camilli, who scored for Gillamtasary. 0 - 1 After 37 minutes, Gillamtasary's F. Camilli burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 2. 41 minutes in, warriors appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. After 42 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed S. Zwiers to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. A drive down the left side allowed S. Zwiers to get in close and score another goal for Gillamtasary after 44 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 4. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by warriors, with 61 percent of the ball.

Despite his frustration resulting in the smashing of a few teacups, the coach of warriors was able to get his message across, and raised warriors's organisation to solid. The goal for 1 - 4 was a funny story: after 55 minutes the seemingly nonchalant lob from warriors's A. Kalous landed at the feet of L. Golding who sidefooted it into the net - nice goal! F. Camilli 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. After 70 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Gillamtasary was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. The home crowd was given a certain amount of consolation when O. Beard scored after a brilliant midfield combination through the centre, reducing the lead to 2 - 4. J. Hopman was called on to replace warriors's J. Chugg after 74 minutes following a nasty collision. After 76 minutes warriors's R. Kubisztal contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. A marvellous warriors effort on the right-hand side resulted in a goal after 76 minutes by S. Clark, making the score 3 - 4. K. Blantyre of warriors received a yellow card after 79 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. N. Gîndea showed the skills that make him a real crowd pleaser as he, after 82 minutes, wove through the guests' entire central defence and put the 4 - 4 equaliser away. warriors had most of the ball, with 71 percent of possession.

O. Beard performed admirably for warriors. However, S. Clark made a disastrous appearance. Gillamtasary's top performer was clearly F. Camilli. R. Arthur turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 4.
