Leuven 4 - 0 MAMAK (393867763)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 3927 to Leuven F.C.. Cedric Green was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Olaf-Ivo Gasche and Aleksander Pala. Leuven had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. The following players took the field: Ďalog - Pörsel, Vilhena, Estima, Süreyya - Euler, Mishkin, Brito, Tavares, Carneiro - Brites.

MAMAK tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Lineup: Arınç - Sazak, Yüzey, Kurthan - Bayar, Başdaş, Acahan, Canbay - Ghislandi, Algrain, Matoszko.

As the 2 minute mark approached, the Leuven coach decided it was time for a substitution. H. Estima reluctantly made way for Á. Moura Lopes on the pitch. A. Vilhena would have preferred to play on, but his coach decided otherwise. F. Ferreira Faria entered the game for Leuven as the match clock showed 5 minutes. As the captain was no longer on the pitch, M. Pörsel took over the role of being the Leuven captain. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave Á. Moura Lopes from Leuven a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 40 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Leuven broke through on the left 42 minutes into the game, with D. Carneiro firing in from an acute angle to give the home side a 1 - 0 lead. V. Brito could have increased the lead after 43 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. 43 minutes in, Leuven's R. Brites received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Leuven, with 79 percent of the ball.

A. Mishkin increased the lead for Leuven to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Cheers filled the stadium as R. Brites broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to Leuven. The players of Leuven now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. Leuven's F. Ferreira Faria increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 80 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Leuven, who controlled the ball 79 percent of the time.

W. Euler performed admirably for Leuven. However, M. Pörsel made a disastrous appearance. MAMAK's top performer was clearly R. Ghislandi. K. Acahan was a disappointment, however. The match ends 4 - 0.
