canadiensht 1 - 2 Moffat (393057302)

Clear skies welcomed the 34202 spectators who had made their way to The Rocket Arena. Tito Galluccio was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Kai Thorstensen and Filip Mandžo. canadiensht decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. The following players had been chosen: Lehtinen - Vermezović, Noam, Delvaux - Kamphuis, Lindkvist, Adomßent, Petrônio - Verlaet, Power, Bisazza.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Moffat. They fielded: Gwioździk - de Leest, Ben-David, Sandid - Milenković, Famulski, Thüme, Fallourd, Kozel - Varela, Randall.

Given a free kick close to the byline, Moffat tried a move that loyal fans may recognise from training. A pass to the side pulled the defence out of position which let C. Varela slip through on goal. He didn't have to break his stride, and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 0 - 1, 2 minutes into the game. 12 minutes into the game, J. Power had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came F. Jansson. W. Petrônio missed a penalty after 30 minutes that would have put the teams level. Halftime score was 0 - 1. canadiensht enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

Although the whole team were struggling to impress, canadiensht's C. Lindkvist was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 46 minutes. B. Kittilsen was given a chance to change things around. canadiensht put pressure on the visitors' central defence 56 minutes into the game, but W. Petrônio couldn't find an opening. The crowd chanted their encouragement as canadiensht's G. Delvaux came in from the right after 59 minutes and put the ball in the net to level the score at 1 - 1. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave W. Petrônio from canadiensht a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 62 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! É. Fallourd of Moffat had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. O. Argov came in to finish the match. 65 minutes into the match, the referee signalled for a Moffat substitution. S. Ruel came on for M. Sandid. S. Ruel became the new Moffat captain. Some great play up the middle by canadiensht led to a chance for F. Jansson to score after 72 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. After the game, the most discussed event will probably be the penalty given after 83 minutes that gave the visitors the 1 - 2 lead. Despite the controversy, O. de Leest struck home the penalty, as cool as anything. canadiensht claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

Most important canadiensht player was W. Petrônio. On the other hand, J. Lehtinen's play was disheartening. The most dominating Moffat player was without a doubt N. Randall. O. Argov turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 2.
