RAPOB 0 - 3 The blacks (379018646)

2958 spectators had come to DREAMS this cloudy day. Mats Risbom was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Svein Øen and Roy Strømstad. RAPOB had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players took the field: Ķauķis - Ciorea, Kabát, Sárosi - Wiesmayr, Tarcău, Pichiu, Marinescu, Pahone - Teacă, Ivan.

The blacks tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. They fielded: Darwish - Kotowski, Iordache, Spechtenhauser, Paul - Mpenos, Jin ho, Van Dongen, Hansson - Kiss, Dimulescu.

The blacks were determined to use their long shot ability. 1 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a The blacks substitution. C. Rosella came on for M. Paul. N. Tarcău behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 19 minutes as he gave the ball away to T. Jin ho. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. The guests almost went up by a goal after 20 minutes when E. Van Dongen came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. After 27 minutes The blacks's M. Darwish contracted a slight foot injury, but didn't want to leave the game. With the match clock at 30 minutes, The blacks modified their style of play a little bit. E. Van Dongen had a good try after 33 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. 37 minutes into the match, The blacks nearly took the lead, as B. Spechtenhauser broke through on the right. M. Ķauķis made the save, however. Some beautiful play by The blacks set up P. Hansson in a good shooting position after 40 minutes, but M. Ķauķis made a great save on the low hard shot. The corner kick from M. Dimulescu was powerfully met by the head of J. Kotowski to make the score 0 - 1. 42 minutes into the match, D. Iordache came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. RAPOB's V. Pichiu was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 43 minutes. It was 0 - 1 at the break. The blacks had most of the ball, with 81 percent of possession.

Had it not been for one of the home defenders, C. Rosella would have put The blacks up another goal 49 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. A penalty was awarded after 57 minutes, and M. Dimulescu made the most of his chance to put The blacks up by another goal. 0 - 2 for the visitors. M. Dimulescu could have added one to the visitors' lead if his free kick had gone just a little lower. After 60 minutes, the The blacks players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, V. Pahone got himself booked. The manager of RAPOB was not happy. With the scoreboard showing that 80 minutes had been played, The blacks nearly put themselves up another goal after B. Spechtenhauser came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. Content with how the game was proceeding, the The blacks coach let Y. Daniel replace M. Darwish after 81 minutes. A. Mpenos received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 82 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 0 - 3. The The blacks fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The coach of The blacks was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 89 minutes, S. Letov came on for D. Iordache. The blacks claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 81 percent.

The most dominating RAPOB player was without a doubt F. Teacă. W. Wiesmayr turned in a dismal performance, however. S. Letov performed admirably for The blacks. However, C. Rosella made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 0 - 3.
