Dinamo 3 - 1 Langer (371639124)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 60000 to Shiva Temple. Carlos Manuel Pérez was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Matti Thornberg and Primitivo Godoy. Dinamo had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Lineup: Parnian Pour - Marinyák, Bishop, Attimarad - Ahi, Aruna, Bhadauria, Ruia, Campen - Tripathi, Raza.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Langer. The following players took the field: Helmantel - Bajpai, Ibarra, Vlasenko - Świtoń, Kapoor, Satyanaraina, Muralidharan, Jenayah - Piazzo, Gangawane.

Langer clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. With clinical precision, the cross from winger B. Ahi found its way to D. Tripathi's head, and a screaming header gave Dinamo the goal after 3 minutes played. 1 - 0 10 minutes in, Dinamo's A. Aruna received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. Good work by the Langer defensive line after 15 minutes produced a good counterattack chance, which cut elegantly down the middle of the pitch and found A. Gangawane alone in front of the goal, but his shot whistled just wide. B. Ahi increased Dinamo's lead to 2 - 0 with a penalty spot cannonball. The referee showed Langer's T. Kapoor the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 2 - 0 was the score after the first half. Dinamo claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 65 percent.

A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Dinamo's D. Tripathi increasing the lead to 3 - 0. A. Aruna of Dinamo got sent off for kicking the ball after the whistle, a completely uncalled for move, earning him his second yellow card of the game. T. Kapoor caught everyone by surprise with a unexpected volley after 78 minutes. H. Jenayah was perfectly placed to take advantage of the play, but unfortunately, he was as surprised as anyone and couldn't finish for Langer. With 80 minutes played, V. Raza could have brought this one home for Dinamo as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. The visitors replied 84 minutes into the game, reducing the home side's lead to 3 - 1, as A. Gangawane dashed up the middle, easily lobbing the ball over the home team's keeper. Dinamo's I. Attimarad saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 86 minutes. B. Bajpai of Langer received a yellow card after 87 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Possession in this half belonged to Dinamo, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

V. Raza performed admirably for Dinamo. On the other hand, I. Attimarad's play was disheartening. Langer's best player was A. Gangawane. However, H. Jenayah made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 1.
