Haiducii 3 - 0 faliment05 (380782986)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 53291 to Iliesti Arena. Björn Säfgren was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Vinko Klarić and Tiberio Arnone. The derby had been the talk of Bucureşti all week and fans of both teams could be seen throughout the stadium. Haiducii started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Göransson - Kimak, Vianu, İnönü - Niculae, Ulmu, D'Avanzo, Nae, Brandt - Eilander, Buzatu.

faliment05 had chosen a strategic 4-3-3 formation. The following players took the field: Brâncoveanu - Trybus, Petranen, Niţă, Abussi - Farmer, Tapalagã, Cornel - Gazeau, Basegaña, Roos.

It was obvious that faliment05 were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to K. Brandt, but the Haiducii player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! Haiducii's C. Niculae made use of his speed to get free of the defence, but he still couldn't get a shot off 7 minutes into the match. At this time in the match, faliment05 were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. K. Brandt could have increased the lead after 35 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. Haiducii solidified their lead at the 37 minute mark, as D. Buzatu dribbled the ball through the opposing central defence and scored to make it 2 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Haiducii had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

faliment05 certainly deserved a goal after some stunning play down the left, but A. Tapalagã just wasn't able to finish. faliment05's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. D. Buzatu acted with superior experience when, 77 minutes into the match, he predicted a pass, intercepted it and then finished off with a goal. 3 - 0 for Haiducii! 78 minutes in, A. Tapalagã made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side's lead, but A. Göransson refused to let the ball slip by him. Haiducii claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 64 percent.

Most important Haiducii player was E. Eilander. K. Brandt was a disappointment, however. L. Basegaña performed admirably for faliment05. V. Niţă on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.
