Laser 2 - 1 PŪSLIS (366388917)

47649 spectators had come to Stadio Renzo Barbera this cloudy day. Ivan Tezin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Andrei Marcu and Giedrius Kazokas. Laser decided to use a 2-5-3 set up. They fielded: N'Gning - Naish, Brener - Kamerman, Ötlegen, Arzalluz, Kabilio, Cassizzi - Popov, Novaković, Lodkin.

PŪSLIS had chosen a strategic 4-5-1 formation. Starters: Ciobãnescu - Kociņš, Vilargunter, Hawker, Raud - Hiltbrunner, Johansen, Rondepierre, Vázquez, Valbom - Splinter.

PŪSLIS clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Laser took the lead 1 minutes in, as N. Popov broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. C. Arzalluz had a fantastic opportunity to put Laser up another goal 9 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. V. Lodkin increased the lead for Laser 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! Confident in their lead, Laser's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Laser's H. Naish was shown a yellow card after 25 minutes for slicing down an opponent. It was 2 - 0 at the break. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Laser, with 55 percent of the ball.

After 62 minutes, PŪSLIS switched C. Hawker with C. Vinzio, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. A penalty 71 minutes into the game gave the home side a chance at adding to the score, but an overconfident M. Brener shot the ball wide trying to put it away in the top corner. Morale on the visitors' bench was greatly improved when their J. Splinter reduced the lead to make it 2 - 1 after 74 minutes, following a pass from the right. After 77 minutes, the defensive line of PŪSLIS created a counterattack through the middle that gave J. Splinter a good look at the goal, but his shot glanced harmlessly off the crossbar. Laser enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

Laser's best player was M. N'Gning. H. Naish on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating PŪSLIS player was without a doubt G. Hiltbrunner. However, C. Vinzio made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 1.
