Swazi 0 - 3 Banjos (393703563)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 676 to Swazi-Dome. Robert Uddhult was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Albert Błaszyk and Savva Kupetskiy. Swazi had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Śmieja - Lipperts, Brankaert, Schenderling - van der Berken, Vastbinder, Methorst, Oudkerk, Geijtenbeek - van de Loo, Kuil.

Banjos started off with a 5-3-2 lineup. They fielded: Puhl - Novoa, Viết, Schreiner, Haji Bandeh, van Heeze - Nøhr, Lelieveld, van Zweden - van der Tas, Vanenburg.

The strategy for Banjos was to use their ability to press. After 4 minutes, J. Vastbinder made a complete fool of himself when he presented the ball to the feet of C. van der Tas who smashed it into the open goal for Banjos. 0 - 1. Banjos pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. At this time in the match, Banjos were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. C. van der Tas finished off the counterattack of Banjos from the left rather easily, making the score 0 - 2. It was 0 - 2 at the break. Swazi claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 62 percent.

Banjos's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. With 60 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed X. Novoa of Banjos to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 3. At this point, it was obvious that the players of Banjos lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. A. van de Loo of Swazi received a yellow card after 65 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 66 minutes Swazi's R. Śmieja contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. 74 minutes in, Swazi's R. Geijtenbeek received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The player down was X. Novoa. The Banjos bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. Banjos's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. Banjos's G. van Zweden refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 87 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Swazi, who controlled the ball 63 percent of the time.

Most important Swazi player was A. van de Loo. On the other hand, A. Lipperts's play was disheartening. Banjos's top performer was clearly J. Schreiner. However, G. van Zweden made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.
