previous 3/10 next 5/10  Chaoticians 2 - 0 Scorps (393984884)

2808 spectators had come to The Mandelbrot Set this cloudy day. Carlos Ligresti was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Anselmo Ferreira and Argiris Dogkanos. Chaoticians decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. Starters: Ferguson - Wilson, Tejada - Smith, Kenyon, Ashcraft, Muse, Werner - Bower, Tobias, Guillory.

Scorps tactics involved an interesting 4-3-3 combination. The following players had been chosen: Gjuroski - Gölles, Säfholt, Håkansson, Stuhlmann - Toresson, Carlsson, Poleksić - Falkenér, Mutavdžić, Åkerbratt.

The strategy for Chaoticians was to use their ability to press. Chaoticians pressed their opponents, causing the game to be a bit of a stalemate at times. 10 minutes into the game, Scorps seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. Chaoticians had to make a substitution after 37 minutes. D. Ashcraft limped off the field and was replaced by N. Beck. At this time in the match, Chaoticians were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Chaoticians, with 69 percent of the ball.

During the break, Scorps's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to passable organisation. Chaoticians were very close to putting themselves one up after 56 minutes as P. Tejada got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. After 60 minutes, the Chaoticians coach wanted to see a new face on the pitch, waving B. Bower off the field. L. Shields took his place. At 71 minutes played, L. Shields came in from the right with the intention of giving Chaoticians the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. L. Shields gave Chaoticians the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 Chaoticians increased the lead as S. Werner struck to make the score 2 - 0 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. The pressing tactics used by Chaoticians were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. N. Beck dispatched a majestic long shot 77 minutes into the match, but missed the goal by a few metres. Possession in this half belonged to Chaoticians, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

L. Shields performed admirably for Chaoticians. W. Tobias turned in a dismal performance, however. Scorps's best player was B. Poleksić. However, F. Säfholt made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 0.
