Bojana 0 - 3 14ers (394308173)

Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Alex Arena saw a crowd turnout of 893. Ulrich Schyma was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Falko Grondman and Gaétan Azevedo. Bojana tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. They fielded: Skoniecki - Roszik, Khoury, Hamid - Yazdanyar, Mustafa, Ibrahim, Al Oawayran, Ahmed - Rahman, Heitbrook.

14ers started off with a 5-4-1 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Beņķītis - Haro, Bachini, Mors, Dundurs, Veidulis - Häusler, Burševics, Terol, Baueris - Kretov.

The strategy for Bojana was to use their ability to press. 4 minutes into the game, E. Hamid had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came S. Tamstani. Some good play on the left wing created an opportunity for the visitors 6 minutes into the match, and M. Bachini 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. After 10 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Bojana found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to passable. 29 minutes into the match, B. Terol came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. Bojana were close to equalising with a spectacular free kick by M. Al Oawayran after 32 minutes, but Ģ. Beņķītis made a great save, tipping it to a corner. 34 minutes in, Bojana appeared unsure on how to play and their organisation was only passable. 35 minutes into the game, Bojana seemed a little tentative in their play as their organization fell to weak. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. 14ers claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 70 percent.

During the break, Bojana's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to passable organisation. A. Baueris finished off the counterattack of 14ers from the left rather easily, making the score 0 - 2. J. Mors of 14ers took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 69 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 3. O. Häusler was, after 71 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper K. Skoniecki made the save. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, M. Bachini would have put 14ers up another goal 77 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. 79 minutes into the game, Bojana had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. With 83 minutes played, A. Kretov nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Possession in this half belonged to 14ers, who controlled the ball 74 percent of the time.

Most important Bojana player was K. Rahman. S. Tamstani was a disappointment, however. The most dominating 14ers player was without a doubt A. Kretov. O. Häusler on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 0 - 3.
