1523 spectators had come to
Final Fantasy VII Arena this cloudy day.
Nico van der Duin van Maasdam was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Reinhard Merget and
Fernando Gómez.
Final... decided to use a 3-5-2 set up.
Lineup: Buszewski - 貴民 (Guimin), Rybus, Tyniec - Przybylak, Skurczyński, Salamaga, Gabriel, Maksym - Zyzański, Kokoszko.
A 5-3-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Leeuw.
Starters: Głombica - Olmedo Bazán, Velthoen, Betranhandi, van Kessel, Villabona - Suances, Veresov, Krecker - Paulsson, Moshe.
Final... took the lead, 1 - 0, after a penalty 33 minutes into the match.
M. Przybylak scored from the penalty spot.
Coming from the right,
M. Przybylak almost managed to score another goal for Final..., but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper.
K. Skurczyński should probably have put his team up another goal after 37 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by
P. Głombica kept the visitors in the game.
1 - 0 was the score after the first half.
Possession in this half belonged to Final..., who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.
The Final... players could smell victory in the air.
E. Rybus wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for
A. Lazar after 47 minutes.
After 49 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and
S. Maksym gave the Final... supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0.
K. Skurczyński left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 51 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead.
T. Delegacz was the replacement.
The coach of Final... was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 59 minutes,
M. Gradowski came on for
P. Zyzański.
C. Salamaga of Final... seemed to be floating in the air as he elegantly headed in to make the score 3 - 0 after a corner kick that was nicely executed by
M. Przybylak.
Final... managed to extend their lead to 4 - 0 when
T. Delegacz cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper.
With 73 minutes played, Final...'s well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to
M. Gradowski he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 5 - 0.
By now, the players in Final... felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward.
Leeuw's
B. Betranhandi had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 75 minutes having been played.
S. Brocaar was the replacement.
After 81 minutes, Final... sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached
R. Kokoszko, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 6 - 0.
L. Krecker of Leeuw was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Final..., with 55 percent of the ball.
Final...'s top performer was clearly
M. Przybylak.
D. Buszewski turned in a dismal performance, however.
Y. Moshe performed admirably for Leeuw.
However,
A. Suances made a disastrous appearance.
The match ends 6 - 0.
