squadra clearly preferred using their ability to attack in the middle. With clinical precision, the cross from winger G. Solares found its way to B. Gül's head, and a screaming header gave Liberté the goal after 9 minutes played. 1 - 0 It was obvious that team squadra had instructions to attack in the middle instead of on the wings. The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 10 minutes, S. Erşan broke through the centre and found himself alone with the keeper. E. Beckett made a great block, though. Liberté's B. Gül finished emphatically to make the score 2 -0 after 11 minutes, after the enigmatic R. de Kat pulled a delightful long pass from his box of tricks to bypass the defence. 12 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as E. Schiettecatte broke through, making the score 3 - 0 for Liberté. Confident in their lead, Liberté's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. squadra's H. Curry left the field after 14 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was A. Dibo. Liberté's B. Ziaja saw his fine effort strike the top of the bar following some good work up the middle by his teammates after 19 minutes. G. Solares should probably have put his team up another goal after 25 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by A. Thijs kept the visitors in the game. Central attacks were the recipe of the day for squadra, as they moved the ball from the wings to the middle with startling regularity. The crowd roared its approval when E. Beckett somehow managed to block a shot which seemed to be a certain goal by squadra's A. Dibo 30 minutes into the game. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Liberté enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 64 percent of possession.

Liberté's B. Gül swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. squadra kept trying to force their way through on the right side and E. Rolfsson got his chance after 53 minutes, but the home side's defence held their position and stopped the attack. After 60 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by N. Bragard might have resulted in another goal for Liberté. However, A. Thijs made a spectacular save. After 64 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and R. de Kat gave the Liberté supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. After 79 minutes, squadra switched C. Agostinho with N. Gandega, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, squadra's S. Erşan was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 80 minutes. Y. Berger was given a chance to change things around. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Liberté, with 65 percent of the ball.

Most important Liberté player was A. Fogu. On the other hand, D. Familiari's play was disheartening. H. Ramos performed admirably for squadra. A. Thijs on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 4 - 0.
