BIG-Tiger 4 - 0 Eversten (393636091)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 2283 to BIG-Tiger Arena. Jelle van Gog was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Folke Haldern and Örn Ólafsson. BIG-Tiger started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: 泉达 (Quanda) - 鼎博 (Dingbo) , 云鑫 (Yunxin) , Punyapradit - 淮山 (Huaishan) , 嘉超 (Jiachao) , 冠安 (Guanan), 福山 (Fushan) , 兴敬 (Xingjing) - 士发 (Shifa), 子财 (Zicai).

A 5-2-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Eversten. They fielded: Paraska - Corves, Kraeussel, da Lagoa, Holletschek, Dagdelen - Haaning, Figan - Wessner, Schrems, Schenkendorf.

BIG-Tiger took a creative approach on the field. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Eversten. Almost all the way down to the corner flag, BIG-Tiger's 张. 兴敬 (Xingjing) somehow managed to get a perfect pass into the middle, impossible to miss for 林. 子财 (Zicai), who struck for 1 - 0. BIG-Tiger put themselves up 2 - 0 when 温. 士发 (Shifa) broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. Confident in their lead, BIG-Tiger's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Eversten's counterattack was impressive and was only stopped by a shocking foul. Somehow, the referee's cards remained in his pocket - a terrible decision! T. Figan's resulting free kick was easily saved by the keeper. 34 minutes into the game, Eversten had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. With 37 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, R. Dagdelen needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn't succeed. Good work by the Eversten defensive line after 42 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found B. Haaning alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. 43 minutes in, Eversten appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only weak. After 44 minutes, BIG-Tiger sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached 周. 嘉超 (Jiachao) , who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 3 - 0. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. BIG-Tiger claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 64 percent.

During the break, Eversten's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. With 48 minutes played, BIG-Tiger's 温. 士发 (Shifa) almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. A counterattack by Eversten after 49 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but T. Figan, coming in on the left, couldn't get the shot off. 林. 子财 (Zicai) of BIG-Tiger was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. With 73 minutes played, BIG-Tiger's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to M. Punyapradit he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 4 - 0. BIG-Tiger had most of the ball, with 63 percent of possession.

BIG-Tiger's top performer was clearly 温. 士发 (Shifa). On the other hand, 丁. 云鑫 (Yunxin) 's play was disheartening. The most dominating Eversten player was without a doubt O. Corves. R. Schrems turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
