Dragons 0 - 1 Bergen (394025979)

Clear skies welcomed the 3276 spectators who had made their way to The Spawning Pit. Jody Traverso was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Rudolf Polyakov and Sérgio Neves. A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Dragons. They fielded: Blanquet - Ferraz, Bogg, Ramaccioni, Cigľár - Freitas, Wybrandt, Pezzoni, Bui, Varga - Allenby.

Bergen had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Luque - Oğulbey, Ferreirinho, Gegenbach - Caballero Galán, Staicu, Berko, Soffia, Wijsenbeek - Knowles, Senar.

Today, Dragons's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. P. Caballero Galán made a quick rush after 7 minutes, but Š. Cigľár had no problems keeping up the pace and stopped the attack. P. Soffia came close to putting the visiting team one up 12 minutes into the match, following a solo raid down the middle, but D. Blanquet managed to tip the ball to a corner. There was concern in the stands when, at the 15 minute mark, Dragons's A. Allenby hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. Dragons were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. Dragons had a chance to take the lead after Š. Cigľár's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 19 minutes. Dragons's T. Ferraz was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 21 minutes. Halftime score was 0 - 0. Dragons had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 49 minutes into the match, and Ü. Senar wasn't about to let it go by. He got past the defenders and fired a shot that the keeper just missed. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Dragons, with 57 percent of the ball.

Dragons's best player was A. Allenby. However, T. Ferraz made a disastrous appearance. Bergen's top performer was clearly Ü. Senar. On the other hand, P. Caballero Galán's play was disheartening. The match ends 0 - 1.
